FORENSIC SCIENCE
▪ Forensic means “before the forum”
▪ In ancient Rome, if a person was accused of a crime they were brought before the forum (public marketplace/town square) to present their case.
▪ The gatherers determined if he/she was guilty or not based upon the presentation of their case.

FORENSICS TODAY
⬜ Today, forensic science is a marriage of science and law.
⬜ It is the act of gathering and interpreting evidence so that it is presented to persuade a jury or judge that an act has or has not take place.
⬜ Forensic science may be more precisely named criminalistics as it is very closely related to criminal law.

Observations
⬜ Central element of scientific method
⬜ Consists of receiving knowledge of the outside world through our senses, or recording information using scientific tools and instruments.
⬜ The ability to notice specific details.

Fact vs. Inference
⬜ Fact – proven or accepted as truth
⬜ Observation- using senses to gather information about environment
⬜ Inference- Deductive reasoning or interpretation of observations

⬜ i.e. Color, smell, sound, texture
⬜ QUANTITATIVE: Descriptions of evidence involved in a crime scene that are measureable, precise, etc.
⬜ i.e. Temperature, length, width, height, mass, etc.
