Forensic
What is Forensic Science? Forensic science is any aspect of science that is related to the law. There are many different ways of catching criminals but there is one way to catch th and that is by using forensic science. A crime can occur in the middle of the night or in an isolated area where no witnesses are present. It's the evidence left behind that is the only witness. Forensic scientists take the evidence and brings it to the lab to examine it. Think of Agent Skully from the X-Files, she's a forensic scientist. When therešs a crime, a forensic scientist is always there to help find evidence. They look for evidence such as finger prints, shoe prints, hair, fibber from clothes, blood, DNA etc. Most evidence are collected in paper containers. Forensic scientists have related jobs such as forensic chemist, forensic accounting, forensicarcheologistm, forensic biochemist etc.
They can figure out a person's handwriting for example, if there was a kidnapping, the kidnappers would probably send a ransom note that would ask for 2 millions dollars or they will kill the person who was kidnapped. If that happens, a forensic scientist would take the paper and examine it for any fingerprints or other clues. They can also figure it by looking at the handwriting to see if anything is different or to look for patterns.
They can use a fracture matches which is a machine that put pieces of things that were found at the scene. For example, headlights of a car had been broken into pieces in a car accident, it could be matched to a broken headlight on a suspect's vehicle.
I think this topic is interesting because I think this job isn't like any other jobs, it's exciting. Why is it interesting? It's because they can take evidence from a crime scene and examine it to find out who is the criminal. They earn quite a lot of money.
