Hi Naveen,
Forensic science course deals with the most scientific ways in which various kinds of crimes or activities can be proved. It is essentially a crime and laboratory-based profession. But the expertise of a forensic professional is also used in civil cases for issues like proving the validity of a signature on a will, to a claim of the products liability, to find out whether an industry is complying with environmental rules or not. Forensic Science is broadly grouped into three types: Medical, laboratory and field science.
1. Medical/Data medicine includes forensic pathology, psychiatry, psychology, forensic medicine and odontology (dentistry).
2. Laboratory Sciences include chemistry, biology, toxicology, ballistics, fingerprints, questioned documents and marks & impressions.
3. Field Sciences include crime scene investigation which incorporates areas such as fire and explosion scenes and clandestine drug laboratories.
