Forensic science is the application of scientific principles and techniques to the investigation of crimes and legal issues. It encompasses various scientific disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, and even engineering, all aimed at analyzing evidence found at crime scenes or related to legal matters. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyze physical evidence to help solve crimes, identify suspects, and provide evidence for legal proceedings. This evidence can include DNA samples, fingerprints, trace evidence like fibers or soil, firearms and ballistics, and more. The findings of forensic science are crucial in providing impartial and objective information to support the justice system.
