Century: My Perception and Concept
Forensic science (renowned as; Forensics) can be defined as; the application of scientific
knowledge and approach to legal dilemmas and criminal investigations. It is based on various
scientific principles involving biology and chemistry, and includes various aspects such as; DNA
analysis, Fingerprinting, Autopsy and so on. In fact, there are numerous advanced scientific
practices which are applied by forensic scientists for the purpose of preservation as well as
examination of evidences, and for development of exploratory leads related with civil and
criminal proceedings. There are a number of professionals in forensic science community who
are working hard from a long time to (i) achieve excellence in their fields, (ii) pursue high ethical
standards, (iii) develop sound professional norms, (iv) make certain precise outcomes in their
tasks, and (v) to advance the procedures through which exactness could be established
(Koppelkamm et al., 2011).
Indisputably, as a consequence of dedicated efforts of these professionals, there could be
monitored momentous progress in the disciplines of forensic science in recent decades owing to
which, forensic science can be applied as a vital tool in law enforcement, criminal exploration,
criminal justice system, and safety efforts at different levels. Crucial constituents in a victorious
resolution at a crime scene originate from the well of an unpolluted and pure site which then
sequentially affirms cosmological facts gathering thus; results into an exact elucidation of the
incident (Vennemann & Koppelkamm, 2010).
The various aspects of forensic science in criminal search include bioscience, mark out
proofs, forensic descriptions, toxicology, getting verifications, chemistry of drug, and ballistics
etc. An archetype of legal cases profiting from such kind of scientific study involves medical
negligence proceedings, probate litigation, multifaceted and commercial lawful deeds and
agreement claims etc. How does it become possible this can be understood via the example of

documentation analysis practice in which various forensic experts assist the judicial procedure in
scrutiny of documents under consideration and in handwriting examination. These forensic
examiners participate in monitoring of diverse physical features and constituents of documents to
facilitate recognition of their source(s), or to establish their accuracy or reliability. Thus; forensic
document examiners may lend a hand to advocates through such inspections, and further by
presentation of written judgments on a range of uncertain document troubles.
Another example which can be termed relevant here is fingerprint analysis via which the
relationship between crime and criminal could be established since; according to forensic
experts, there might be observed significant variations among DNA of all individuals which
could be diagnosed and applied for detection of DNA sample obtained from crime site. Such
identification can be performed via collection of DNA samples from suspected persons so that,
their DNA and sample collected from crime site could be run on gel in a parallel manner, and
any matching /mismatching pattern might be...
