CJS/215: Introduction to Forensics



Explaining Forensics

Forensic science goes back to many centuries. There have been individuals who have observed

evidence, and applied those basic scientific skills to solve crimes. The Swedish Chemist Carl

Wilhelm Scheele came up with the first test for detecting the poison arsenic in corpses. There

was also the German Chemist Valentin Ross who had discovered a better method to detecting

small amounts of arsenic in the walls of a victim’s stomach. Mathieu Orfila published the first

scientific treatise on the detection of poisons and their effects on animals. (Saferstein, Ph.D.)

Odontology assists criminal investigations when it involves a bite mark on the victim. It can help

detect the person who gave the marks. Toxicology can help investigations by determining if any

toxins or poisons were involved in the investigations. Forensic scientists examine and analyze

evidence from crime scenes to develop objective findings that can assist in an investigation and

prosecution. On the other hand, it may also exonerate an innocent person from suspicion.
