How does a forensic scientist use science?

Science and technology are vital tools in the fight against crime. Our policies are directly influenced by advances in science and technology. Technological advances made by the Home Office Scientific Development Branch (new window) have contributed to the development of: * more effective methods for detecting fingerprints at crime scenes * specialist equipment to assist the police in covert surveillance operations * improved systems to scan for drugs, weapons and explosives * lighter body armour to protect police officers The expansion and development of the national DNA database has made a significant contribution in detecting serious crime. Forensic science (or forensics) is the use of scientific knowledge to investigate and establish facts for legal purposes. Forensics may be used by pathologists to determine cause of death, or by police to match a crime to a criminal. Forensic science often involves the use Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology to investigate crimes and accidents. DNA is the genetic code found in every cell in our bodies. Each person's DNA is unique and it can therefore be used to help identify people. DNA derived from samples taken from crime scenes or from individuals held in police custody can be searched against the records held in the national DNA database. This use of DNA technology has made a significant contribution in detecting serious crime, a DNA match on the database can: * suggest the possible identity of an offender * help solve 'cold cases' - unsolved crimes which occurred years ago * help catch serious offenders when they are picked up for a minor offence and their DNA is matched to samples already held on the database * eliminate individuals from suspicion when their DNA does not match with that found at a crime scene

If someone starts a fight with you and you kill them is that a crime?

Yes. A crime happened. If the other person tried to kill you, then the other person is responsible for the crime even though you did the killing. If it was simply a fight and you suddenly decided to kill the other guy, then you committed a crime.
