Forensic Science Interesting Facts

1). Do you know that Forensic Science was not invented by investigators? They were invented by Cops, police officers who just felt that ancient methods were too inefficient to follow.

2).  Fingerprints aren't foolproof, although everyone would think that there isn't two people with the same fingerprints. Forensic Scientists say that its very difficult to find a matching fingerprint although computer analysing has made it much easier.

3). DNA testing isn't foolproof either, although the chance is extremely low, sometimes, the precise testing can cause mistakes.

4). Deleted files on the computer aren't always gone, Forensic Scientists or Investigators would be able to develope softwares to rewrite these deleted files.

5). Everything you do on the internet is tracked. Well, its scary, but the government can do that! Every click, everything you type, every website, the government can track even when im typing now. This applies to criminals who are released on bail.

6). TV policemen always get to use their guns at nearly every case they are called on to investigate?

No, The average police officer in the city of New York, America would have to work for approximately sixty years just to be able to shoot once.

7). Pigs are the closest analog to the human body. Forensic scientists use pigs to study decomposition of the human body as well as tool markings.

8). Most professionals agree that if a person knows that they are telling a lie, it can be detected by the polygraph. The polygraph measures the physiological arousal that occurs when people lie. Thus, the theory goes, a person could only “beat” the test if they are telling a lie that they believe to be the truth. Polygraphs are admissible in court if the judge allows the evidence.
