What is Forensic Science?
The world "forensic" is derived from the Latin, "forensic", meaning public; public discussion; belonging to debate or discussion.
From that basis, we can move to the more modern definition of "forensic" as belonging to, used in or suitable for public discussion. Forensic science is science used in public, a court of law or in the justice system.
What is a Forensic Scientist?
A forensic scientist is first a scientist. He/she applies scientific knowledge to assist juries, lawyers and judges in understanding science.
