Forensic science is the application of scientific methods and techniques to solve crimes and assist in legal investigations. It encompasses various disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science to collect, analyze, and interpret evidence found at crime scenes. Forensic scientists use their expertise to identify and examine physical evidence, such as DNA, fingerprints, fibers, and firearms, and provide expert testimony in court to help establish the guilt or innocence of suspects. The goal of forensic science is to uncover the truth and bring justice to victims of crime.
