	Forensic Science - MSN Encarta
		Forensic science is used in monitoring the compliance of various countries with such international agreements as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Chemical Weapons Convention and to learn whether a country is developing a secret nuclear weapons program.
		Within the broad area of forensic science, there are many subspecialties, including pathology (the examination of body tissues and fluids), toxicology (the study of poisons, including drugs), odontology (the study of teeth), psychiatry, anthropology (the study of human beings), biology, chemistry, and physics.
		Forensic scientists may choose to be certified by the American Board of Criminalistics, a professional organization that has developed examinations to certify individual forensic scientists in their particular area of expertise.

	Forensic Science \| Let Evidence Reveal The Truth
		The role of forensic science extends beyond the barriers of murder cases to the everyday crimes of theft and fraud.
		Each technique used by forensic scientists must be precise and accurate enough to deal with the seriousness of the matter it concerns i.e the conviction/acquittal of a person, which, in some countries around the world, is a matter of life or death.
		Forensic Science covers the different techniques used to analyse a variety of crimes, sectioned into a logical order (located at the left) and also features an interactive section of interviews, quizzes, science experiments and more.

	Forensic Science Careers
		Forensic toxicologists deal mainly with medico-legal aspects of drugs and poisons, their main responsibilities are to establish and explain the circumstances of legal cases where drugs or other chemicals are implicated.
		Forensic degrees include a substantial amount of legal study and it is possible for a forensic scientist to become a solicitor or barrister, although this would normally require two years further full-time study.
		Forensic Science graduates are attractive to many employers because of their personal transferable skills rather than the specific skills that they have gained during their degree course.

	The Forensic Science Society
		In criminal cases forensic scientists are often involved in the search for and examination of physical traces which might be useful for establishing or excluding an association between someone suspected of committing a crime and the scene of the crime or victim.
		In civil cases forensic scientists may become involved in some of the same sorts of examinations and analyses but directed to resolving disputes as to, for example, the cause of a fire or a road accident for which damages are being claimed.
		Forensic medical examiners, who deal with the living and forensic pathologists, who deal with the dead, are qualified medical practitioners who, having completed their training as doctors, choose to specialise in either field.
