DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT
Forensic science is a “hands-on” science, often engaged in crime-solving at the molecular level. Criminology is a more theoretical practice, seeking to understand the cause of crime, and studying criminal behavior in the context of societal impacts and responses. Criminologists seek to prevent crime, as well as to improve the workings of the criminal justice and correctional systems.
Forensic science utilizes scientific disciplines in relation to specific questions of law. When they are working in the field, forensic scientists seek to establish a positive trace or link between a suspect and a crime scene or victim, by means of physical evidence, such as fibers, textile fragments, tire or shoe imprints, tool or die markings, or materials used to create incendiary devices or to start fires.
