Welcome To Law, Justice, & the Collection of Forensic Evidence
-
Forensic science is a wonderfully multi-disciplined curriculum with potential occupations that can be very rewarding. No matter what your interest is, from photography to soil science, firearms to medical examiner, the world of criminal investigations and criminal profiling is expansive, current, and exciting to become a part of. This course has grown in numbers as well as content, and by design closely matches a first year criminal justice and forensic course at the college level. This is the fifth year I will be teaching this class, and each year gets more rewarding
