In its broadest definition, forensic science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. The subject matter of this book emphasizes the application of science to those criminal and civil laws that are enforced by police agencies in a criminal justice system. Forensic science owes its origins to individuals such as Bertillon, Galton, Lattes, Goddard, Osborn, and Locard, who developed the principles and techniques needed to identify or compare physical evidence.
Mathieu Orfila—the father of forensic toxicology. Alphonse Bertillion—devised the first scientific system of personal identification in 1879. Francis Galton—conducted the first definitive study of fingerprints and their classification. Leone Lattes—developed a procedure to determine blood type from dried bloodstains. Calvin Goddard—used a comparison microscope to determine if a particular gun fired a bullet. Albert Osborn—developed the fundamental principles of document examination.
Walter McCrone—utilized microscopy and other analytical methodologies to examine evidence. Hans Gross—wrote the first treatise describing the application of scientific principles to the field of criminal investigation. Edmond Locard—incorporated Gross’ principles within a workable crime laboratory. Locard’s Exchange Principle—states that when a criminal comes in contact with an object or person, a cross-transfer of evidence occurs. Sir Alec Jeffreys—developed the first DNA profiling test in 1984.
The development of crime laboratories in the United States has been characterized by rapid growth accompanied by a lack of national and regional planning and coordination. At present, approximately 350 public crime laboratories operate at various levels of government—federal, state, county, and municipal.
The ever increasing number of crime laboratories is partly the result of the following: Supreme Court decisions in the 1960s responsible for police placing greater emphasis on scientifically evaluated evidence. Crime laboratories inundated with drug specimens due to accelerated drug abuse. The advent of DNA profiling.
The technical support provided by crime laboratories can be assigned to five basic services. Physical Science Unit incorporates the principles of chemistry, physics, and geology to identify and compare physical evidence. Biology Unit applies the knowledge of biological sciences in order to investigate blood samples, body fluids, hair, and fiber samples. Firearms Unit investigates discharged bullets, cartridge cases, shotgun shells, and ammunition. Document Examination Unit provides the skills needed for handwriting analysis and other questioned-document issues. Photography Unit applies specialized photographic techniques for recording and examining physical evidence.
Optional Services by Full-Service Labs Toxicology Unit examines body fluids and organs for the presence of drugs and poisons. Latent Fingerprint Unit processes and examines evidence for latent fingerprints. Makes ID by comparing fingerprints. Polygraph Unit conducts polygraph or lie detector tests. Voiceprint Analysis Unit attempts to tie a recorded voice to a particular suspect. Crime Scene Investigation Unit dispatches specially trained personnel to the crime scene to collect and preserve physical evidence.
Forensic Psychiatry is an area in which the relationship between human behavior and legal proceedings is examined. Forensic Odontology involves using teeth to provide information about the identification of victims when a body is left in an unrecognizable state. Also investigates bite marks. Forensic Engineering is concerned with failure analysis, accident reconstruction, and causes and origins of fires or explosions. Forensic Computer and Digital Analysis Unit examines digital evidence.
Formulate a question worthy of investigation. Formulate a reasonable hypothesis to answer the question. Test the hypothesis through experimentation. Upon validation of the hypothesis, it become suitable as scientific evidence.
A forensic scientist must be skilled in applying the principles and techniques of the physical and natural sciences to the analysis of the many types of evidence that may be recovered during a criminal investigation. A forensic scientist may also provide expert court testimony. An expert witness is an individual whom the court determines possesses knowledge relevant to the trial that is not expected of the average person.
The Frye v. United States decision set guidelines for determining the admissibility of scientific evidence into the courtroom. To meet the Frye standard, the evidence in question must be “generally accepted” by the scientific community.
However, in the 1993 case of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceutical, Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court asserted that the Frye standard is not an absolute prerequisite to the admissibility of scientific evidence. Trial judges were said to be ultimately responsible as “gatekeepers” for the admissibility and validity of scientific evidence presented in their courts, as well as all expert testimony.
Whether the scientific technique or theory can be tested. Whether the technique has been subject to peer review and publication. The techniques potential rate of error. Existence and maintenance of standards . Whether the scientific theory or method has attracted widespread acceptance within a relevant scientific community.
