FSCI 3030U – Criminalistics II


This course continues to build upon the material introduced in Criminalistics I. It introduces students to new forensic science theories and techniques, as well as miscarriages of justice and Scientific Working Group standards relevant to homicide and suspicious death investigations. Tablet technology and forensic-specific software will continue to be emphasized. Students will expand upon their knowledge of forensic photography by using photo-editing software for the analysis and interpretation of photographic evidence. Similar to Criminalistics I, the course objective is to identify all pertinent forensic data to support an investigation, carry out the relevant analyses, and produce a report and presentation appropriate for expert witness testimony in courts of law. The course culminates with student participation in mock court scenarios presenting expert witness testimony.
