CES: Forensics:


The goal of this two-unit course is to provide an outline of the broader topics concerning forensic and investigative sciences as used in crime scene investigation and analytical sciences. This is an exciting field that is only a small part of the overall field of crime scene and forensic investigation. Many of the forensic sciences work hand-in-hand to help solve crimes or even determine if a crime has been committed. While there are varying disciplines of forensics, this course will concentrate on concepts relevant to forensic anthropology. The first section analyzes the varying disciplines of forensics and evidence collection. This portion includes the evaluation of techniques used to identify anatomy and incorporate these findings into an investigation. The second section compares types of traumatic events and evidence. It also examines the way a biological profile is constructed. The course concludes with an analysis of the reality behind the forensics portrayed in the entertainment industry.
