Forensic Biological Sciences

The examination of biological evidence found at crime scenes is included in the field of forensic biological sciences. DNA, blood, hair, tissues, and other body fluids and tissues may be examples of this. To recognize and examine those organic materials, forensic biologists employ sophisticated techniques.

Forensic Chemical Sciences

The study of chemicals and other materials discovered at crime scenes is a component of forensic chemical sciences. Toxins, narcotics, explosives, and trace elements are all included in this. Forensic chemists utilize diverse methodologies to discern and examine these compounds.

Forensic Physical Sciences

Physical evidence that doesn't fall within the biological or chemical categories is analyzed in forensic physical sciences. This can include physical evidence left at crime scenes, such as weapons, tool marks, impressions, and other items.

Digital Forensics

The primary focus of digital forensics is the examination of digital devices and data in order to obtain proof for legal proceedings. Computers, servers, cell phones, tablets, networks, and different types of digital storage media can all be considered among these digital gadgets.
