Forensics (5th Period)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

"Forensics is defined in two ways:
1. The art or study of formal debate; argumentation.
2. The use of science and technology to investigate and establish facts in criminal or civil courts of law."

"Forensics is the application of science to law. Forensic science is used to investigate criminal cases involving a victim, such as assault, robbery, kidnapping, rape, murder and civil cases such as forgeries, fraud, or negligence. Forensics determines if laws or regulations were violated in marketing food and drinks, manufacturing of medicines, agricultural pesticide use, automobile emission compliance, and drinking water purity."

"This semester, we will be studying four major areas related to or directly concerning forensics: homicide, arson, DNA analysis, and software forensics. Read your books. I cannot emphasize that enough."

"We will have our first lecture on Friday. Bring plenty of paper."

"I'm really looking forward to this class. I think it should be fascinating." Lana smiled at her. "Though, after just earning detention, I'm glad we're not diving right in today. I don't think my focusing abilities are going to be the best."
