Forensic Science
Criminal cases are very dependent upon evidence to prove or disprove the facts of the case. The analysis of evidence requires a wide breadth of scientific knowledge and the latest scientific techniques as well as proper evidence procedures.

How do forensic scientists use ratio and proportion?
If a persons leg is in the wrong grave, they use proportions to calculate which percentage of the body is missing.
What is the goal of computer forensics?
Computer forensics is a branch of digital forensic science which serves as a source of legal evidence found on computers and digital storage media. It aids the investigation of both criminal and civil proceedings by helping obtain vital information and gathering proofs and evidence.
Why is objectivity important in forensic science?
The answer lies in the definition of the word itself.
Objective : not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: an objective opinion.
in otherwords so that any reasonable person setting aside their own interpretations, feelings and prejudice would come to the same conclusions. In order that the facts of the matter can be said to be definitive.
Where do you take the glass with the finger print?
You take it to the fingerprint scanner in the B.A.D. hideout.
How many fingerprint points you need to make a match?
The points are called "Minutiae". For a DA, ADA, or any prosecuting attorney to make a case off your finger prints they will need at least 10 Minutiae Points. Of course the more the merrier. The more would make the case stronger. But 10 will do it.
Is blood typing reliable and accurate in forensic science?
Yes, blood type is reliable and accurate. When forensic scientists collect blood from the crime scene and/or the victim (blood is an example of "physical evidence"), they use the blood to match it up with whoever was at the crime scene. It could belong to either the victim--who might have died a violent death--or it could belong to a suspect.
What forensic odontology is the study of?
Teeth. When a body is left in an unidentifiable state, the odontologists identify the person by looking at his/her dental records, his/her teeth, etc.
Why is science important for a forensic scientist?
Forensic scientists need to know about DNA, how to calculate density, and other science things to be able to perform their jobs well. If they don't know ANY science, it wouldn't help solving a crime because they would, for example, need to match DNA to another person's.
Why are observations skills important to forensics science?
So You Can Smoke More Weed And Find All The Seed Before Your RWT(Roll Weed Time)
The terms are when a investigator go to the crime scene make sure to check for clues
Are some forensic tests not conclusive?
Yes, almost any measurement has a range of uncertainty. In addition, you must consider the errors inherent in taking samples, and the expert opinion on the reliability of the test method.
With fingerprints for example, these are commonly considered infallible. But that depends upon how many points of comparison were made. [The points of comparison are forks, whorls, arches, and so on of the fingerprint ridges.] Currently, a 7 point match is considered good, but a 4 or 5 point match is much more suspect.
In science in general, peer review of test methods is one of the 'gold standards'. In the case of fingerprints, say, the peer review test should be carried out on a number of prints, at a number of laboratories.
Seldom does evidence presented have such a quality history.
How much do forensic scientist make per year?
A forensic scientist with less than one year experience earns less than $10.00 per hour. One with 20 years experience earns $75.00 per hour.

What type of science does a forensic scientist use?
Biology, chemistry and drugs/ toxicology, I think!
marathon runner on a hot day has had a sustained increased metabolic rate and thus a depleted ATP supply. He would experience rigor mortis at times within seconds following death. Although the school teacher's metabolic rate may be somewhat elevated on a cool winter day, it is no where near the level of the marathon runner's.
Is there a physical fitness test required for forensic scientists?
Yes. All types of government jobs require a physical test. When you're a forensic scientist, you are pretty much a police officer. You carry a gun, badge, and the right to arrest people. So yes you are required to take a physical fitness test to be a forensics scientist.
Do forensic scientist go to university?
Yes, forensic scientists typically have a strong science background and often pursue a bachelor's degree in forensic science or a related field such as biology, chemistry, or forensic anthropology. Many forensic scientists also continue their education by obtaining a master's degree or a Ph.D. in forensic science to advance their career.
The forensic team were at the scene of the crime investigating.
What subjects do you need to know to be a forensic scientist?
It all depends on your particular interests, as there are many types of forensic studies. In general, courses in biology, chemistry, genetics, physics, mathematics and the like will put you well on your way to becoming a forensic scientist. As you progress, you may find that you prefer one field over the other. For instance, if you like chemistry, you would most likely enjoy a career in drug analysis. On the other hand, if you feel that biology is the way to go, you will probably find that the DNA/serology route will suit your ambitions. Basically, take the courses that will be necessary to help you focus on the path that is most appealing to you. It is best to discuss options with a guidance counselor as early as possible, so he or she can put you on the right track.
What are the disadvantages of being a forensic?
I don't see why it would be, but, you work on dead people, At least they don't talk back!! XD
