Description

Forensic science can be incredibly complex and difficult to study. I wrote these notes to help me through the unit and I ultimately achieved a final grade of 88%. The notes are derived predominantly from the weekly lectures and the tutorials. I hope you also find them useful! These notes cover the following topics: • Key concepts of forensic science, including trace and contact evidence. • Chronological landmarks in the history of forensic science. • Legal aspects of forensic science and the admissibility of forensic evidence in the legal system. • Issues related to toxicology, drugs in racing, sport and the workplace. • Forensic application of selected modern instrumentation analysis such as Infra-Red (IR), Mass Spectroscopy (MS), High Performance Liquid. Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC). • Document Fraud and Cybercrime • Materials, firearms, fires, explosions and human remains. • Processes involved in DNA fingerprinting. Best of luck!
