What role does the forensic science service play in the courtroom?

The Criminal Justice (CJ) system includes law enforcement agencies, DA's, lawyers, jails and prisons, courts, public records and administration, probation and parole officers and all other connected agencies and services. These are collectively referred to as the 'criminal justice system', from first offence to conviction and beyond. Forensic Science is the science and technical aspect of criminal justice. Where CJ is in its entirety, the legal arm which investigates the crime, proposes a theory of the crime, and brings justice to the victim and a conviction of the perpetrator, Forensics basically collects the evidence and tests that theory. The outcome of forensic testing and evidence collection can piece together the crime as it happened. Once those pieces have been put together, the theory can either be proven, disproven or it can perhaps suggest a new theory altogether. In this case, the new theory is tested and investigated to be sure of a match. If there is no match to the suspect and victim, then the investigation continues until a match is made. If a match is made the Criminal Justice system works to bring the perpetrator to justice.
