Facts or opinions generated or supported by the use of one or more of the forensic sciences are referred to as "forensic evidence." This evidence is used in legal contexts to establish the validity of claims or to assist in criminal investigations. It encompasses various disciplines, including forensic Biology, toxicology, and digital forensics, among others, to provide objective data that can aid in legal decision-making.
Facts or opinions generated or supported by the use of one or more of the forensic sciences are referred to as forensic evidence. This type of evidence is critical in legal proceedings, as it can provide objective insights into criminal investigations. Forensic evidence can include anything from DNA analysis and fingerprinting to ballistics and digital forensics. It plays a vital role in establishing the validity of claims made in court.
Forensic sciences provide objective evidence that can support facts in legal investigations, such as DNA analysis that identifies a suspect or establishes paternity. For example, blood spatter analysis can reveal the nature of a crime scene, providing factual insights into the events that occurred. However, opinions may arise from the interpretation of forensic evidence, such as expert testimonies on the likelihood of a match in fingerprint analysis. While the evidence itself is factual, the conclusions drawn can be subjective and depend on the expertise and perspective of the forensic analyst.
To be a forensic scientists one must have at minimum the skills of chemists, biologists, mathematicians and public speaking. Academically a forensic scientist usually has a degree in mathematics or one of the sciences, or sometimes both.
botany chemistry biology zoologyANY of the sciences may be used to solve legal questions and therefore 'forensic' might be appended to that science - e.g. forensic geology.Commonly used in the crime laboratory are Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
In England, you have to gained 4 GCSE's C or above, this must include English, Maths and Science to be able to get into a forensic science course. The courses you will have to take will be all three sciences and a course in either forensic sciece or criminal justice

University of veterinary and Animal Sciences has started M.phil forensic sciences in its associated institute i.e. Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. You can check for the admin or so.....
bsc in forensic sciences and then u can master in it too..

You must have at least a baccalaureate in chemistry, biology, forensic science, or criminalistics, to be a criminalist.
Definately UCT, Stellenbosch, Tukkies (Pretoria) and Wits. UJ does not. I'm not sure about the others but I think most of them would have some sort of course. Otherwise just take maths and statistics - you will still receive some excemptions from the board exams, just not as many as if you study a specific actuarial science degree.
Yes you can but you have to find a university that says in it's entry requirements that they'll accept applicants with a Bsc in zoology or other life sciences.
