1. forensics

   Forensic science, also known as criminalistics, is the application of science to criminal and civil laws, mainly—on the criminal side—during criminal investigation, as governed by the legal standards of admissible evidence and criminal procedure. Forensic science is a broad field that includes; DNA analysis, fingerprint analysis, blood stain pattern analysis, firearms examination and ballistics, tool mark analysis, serology, toxicology, hair and fiber analysis, entomology, questioned documents, anthropology, odontology, pathology, epidemiology, footwear and tire tread analysis, drug chemistry, paint and glass analysis, digital audio video and photo analysis. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyze scientific evidence during the course of an investigation. While some forensic scientists travel to the scene of the crime to collect the evidence themselves, others occupy a laboratory role, performing analysis on objects brought to them by other individuals. Still others are involved in analysis of financial, banking, or other numerical data for use in financial crime investigation, and can be employed as consultants from private firms, academia, or as government employees.In addition to their laboratory role, forensic scientists testify as expert witnesses in both criminal and civil cases and can work for either the prosecution or the defense. While any field could technically be forensic, certain sections have developed over time to encompass the majority of forensically related cases.

Examples of forensics in a Sentence

1. Bruce Castor:

   Under Pennsylvania law, the statements of a suspect are not admissible until ... you can independently prove that a crime was committed, the basic problem always remained that we didn't have any forensics or anything to tell us what had happened because of the delay of a year between when the event occurred and when Andrea Constand came in to police.

2. Sarah Edwards:

   It does seem like [ FTI ] gave it the good try, but it seems they're just not as knowledgeable in the mobile forensics realm as they could have been.

3. Kenneth White:

   I think it has to be evaluated in the context of the entire investigation ; it's just one part of the story, some of the technical critiques around how the forensics were performed and what data were and were not analyzed are fair, but this is in no way a' typical' phone hacking case, if there is such a thing.

4. Mark Milley:

   We have pretty good confidence who did this.
