Forensic science and criminal justice

'Forensic science and criminal justice
the University Press have many up
science research
and teaching in ho
planes from disciplined you might possibly associate with University such
as the Department of Genetics
way 1994 better manager Fred invented
DNA fingerprinting other departments as well like chemistry
and for the G physics engineering senator want a different department
both those natural science one and social science ones like criminology
and psychology where we have experts who work day in day out
in print six time so across the whole range of the criminal justice system
the University blessed has experience and skills
in these disciplines I really enjoy teaching forensic science and criminal
justice related topics
for a couple reasons firstly I think it's a subject that naturally inspire
students and they're always quite engaged with it because
I guess everybody loves a good mystery but the second reason is that students
tend to come into these courses with lots of
a preconceived notions about what forensic science is really like because
maybe they've seen it on TV even the movies
so I really quite enjoyed dispelling some others myths and teaching people
how it actually works and also raising their awareness have so many issues that
surround
the subsidence am in the criminal justice system so I think those are the
two reasons why
I love teaching the subject inside this move will give you
really good in time into not only what forensic sciences and history of it then
how it's used a today by the police
and the criminal justice system actually prosecute
and this and detect crime Sep it's more than just
what the techniques hot more than just the the CSI
aspect of it it's about how this issue in real life and how you can use this
to solve crime one of the things you have a chance to do
is debate contemporary issues in forensic science for instance there's no
question that DNA fingerprinting
is a great asset to the police when they're investigating crime however
national DNA database is due also raised not to privacy and ethics issues which
you have a chance to debate during the course
in addition will consider how forensic science is portrayed in the popular
media
so if you've ever wondered whether shows like CSI realistic
you have a chance to explore that in more detail and come to your own
conclusions
about whether they're purely for entertainment or whether they are based
in reality
and finally the course will finish off by looking at the future forensic
science
and where the disciplines going in the near future I think but it's been
frantic sciences
really great career because at the end day
you how Penn to look back I saw real
positive outcome from this in that you can be satisfied
that results if you were weather which research
its action to take in case work for the play's which teaching the next
generation
is all helping toward make him our community safer
and natural real positive create help 'Forensic science and criminal justice
