Forensics

Forensics refers to the application of scientific methods and techniques to investigate and solve crimes. It encompasses various disciplines that analyze physical evidence, such as fingerprints, DNA, blood patterns, and ballistic evidence, to establish facts in legal cases. Forensic scientists work in laboratories and crime scenes to collect, preserve, and examine evidence, providing expert testimony in court to assist in criminal investigations and legal proceedings. The term is often associated with forensic science, which integrates elements from biology, chemistry, physics, and social sciences to aid law enforcement and justice systems.
