Abstract

“The Science of Forensic Science”, This concept when heard by people that aren't from this field, they have a tendency to deviate towards the common and yet popular TV shows like (CSI) and CID to define Forensic Science. What a person often forgets is that this field is not definable, it’s a vast field combining principles and techniques from various other fields for the administration of Justice through Legal and Scientific Aids. Hence in short Forensic Science can be termed as a “Interdisciplinary Field” which not only opens the gateway for Interdisciplinary Research but also lets an individual apply all of his/her knowledge inherited for the purpose of Criminal Investigation.

This article is for all those who are within the field, and those who are aspiring to be in this field and even for the ones who are looking forward to gain an insight about this subject.

The purpose of this field was mainly administrated to solve Complex Crimes involving Unnatural Deaths, Thefts, Natural Disasters or even in situations where what is seen before our eyes is not what it actually is, for years “Forensic Scientists” (yeah that’s what we are called) have helped solve Crimes violating Criminal Law with the help of Scientific methodologies.
