3. Introduction FORENSIC SCIENCE 3 Forensic science is the use of scientific methods or expertise to investigate crimes or examine evidence that might be presented in a court of law. Forensic Science, often known as CRIMINALISTICS , uses application of kn owledge, principles and techniques of sciences to the matter of law/justice. It involves finding, gathering and analyzing the evidences found at the crime scene. It is rather better known as APPLIED SCIENCE , , a discipline that uses the existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications.

8. Timeline (PRE-INDEPENDENCE) FORENSIC SCIENCE 8 1849 First Chemical Examiner’s Laboratory, Madras. similar laboratories were set up at Calcutta ( 1853 ), followed by one each at Agra ( 1864 ) and Bombay ( 1870 ) 1892 Anthropometric Bureau, for maintaining anthropornetric records of criminal at Calcutta 1897 First fingerprint bureau in the world was officially declared open at Calcutta in July 1897 1898 Foundation of Department of Explosives was laid when the first chief inspector of explosives was appointed in the year 1898 at Nagpur 1930 An Arms Expert was appointed and a small ballistic laboratory was set up under the Calcutta Police to deal with the examination of firearms

11. OBJECTIVE of forensic FORENSIC SCIENCE 11 Has the crime been committed or not? How and when was the crime committed? Who has committed the crime? How has it been committed? To establish link the scene of crime, victim and suspect. To recognize whether the scene of crime is real or fake? To underlay the sequence of events. To discern a culprit from a large group of suspects. To bring the culprit to the justice and exonerate innocent.

12. Summary FORENSIC SCIENCE 12 Forensic science is growing rapidly and so is the rate of crimes in our society and for this reason, all the investigative agencies are looking towards it because of its expertise in solving a crime scientifically which could not be made possible otherwise. By the help of forensic science, we can punish the suspect and exclude the innocent.
