Importance Of Forensic Science In Criminal Procedures

Both of these laws recognize the role of forensic science in solving

crimes/criminals and give it legal force. Forensic science can prove the presence
of a crime, a perpetrator of a crime, or a connection to a crime by examining
physical evidence, conducting tests, interpreting data, a clear and concise report,
and truthful testimony from a forensic expert. xi]. [Sources: 13]

Forensic science is concerned with the preservation, acquisition and analysis of

evidence that can be used to prosecute offenders in criminal courts. Forensic
science plays a vital role in the criminal justice system by providing accurate
information through physical evidence analysis to identify criminals through
personal evidence such as fingerprints, fingerprints, drops of blood or hair [7].
[Sources: 0, 12]

The forensic medical examination establishes the crime scene (where/crime scene).
Forensic science applies science to civil and criminal laws enforced by government
agencies such as the police, CID, CBI, etc. Forensic experts use state-of-the-art
scientific methods to examine and interpret evidence in connection with civil and
criminal proceedings. In criminal proceedings based precisely on circumstantial
evidence, forensic examination plays a vital role that can help establish evidence
of a crime, identify the suspect, ascertain the guilt or innocence of the accused.
Forensic evidence is useful for solving the most violent and violent cases, as well
as completely non-violent cases involving crimes such as fraud and burglary.

If a decomposing body is found somewhere in the woods, forensic scientists can use
DNA, medical records and other evidence to identify the person, determine the cause
of death, and sometimes determine whether the body contains material from the body.
present at the time of death. Investigators can use ballistic data, blood tests or
DNA tests as forensic evidence. Trial attorneys—including criminal defense
attorneys and prosecutors—use forensics to prove and disprove the evidence they
present in court. [Sources: 1, 8]

While investigators and law enforcement agencies are in the business of collecting
evidence, physical or digital, it is forensics who are in charge of analyzing such
evidence to establish admissible facts in court. Therefore, in a criminal
investigation, it is necessary to use forensic science to assess the nature, type
and detection of a crime. Therefore, it is very important that the police and the
investigative apparatus also use forensics to solve crimes, as well as keep up with
growing technologies and different types of crimes. And with the development of
science and technology, the methods of crime and the disclosure of criminals have
also progressed. [Sources: 3, 4, 13]

The work of forensic experts is not only critical in criminal investigations and
prosecutions, but also vital in civil litigation, major natural and man-made
disasters, and global crime investigations. Successful forensic analysis relies on
a system that emphasizes teamwork, advanced investigative skills and tools (such as
GPS positioning, cell phone tracking, video image analysis, artificial intelligence
and data mining) and the ability to process a crime scene through correct
recognition , collection and storage of all relevant physical evidence. [Sources:

Through forensics, authorities can analyze physical evidence and gain confidence in
almost any decision they make about a criminal case. A forensic examination is
conducted on the basis of evidence to assist the court in establishing physical
facts to resolve a criminal or civil dispute. [Sources: 1, 10]

Below is an overview of scientific and forensic evidence used in criminal trials.

In general, many types of forensic evidence are generally considered scientific
evidence, such as DNA matching, fingerprinting, and hair/fiber evidence. The
methods used to develop these types of evidence are often beyond the knowledge of
judges and juries and are therefore often presented as scientific evidence. But the
court is not bound by the report and can rely on other evidence. [Sources: 6, 7]

Although the use of forensic evidence peaks in the judiciary, restricted use can
also be seen in the Indian judiciary. Furthermore, to date, courts have relied
primarily on non-medical and non-scientific evidence in their judgments. According
to a recent investigation by the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court,
only 60-65 cases were found to be resolved through forensic evidence. [Sources: 7]

The Court's reluctance to use forensic evidence for criminal investigations has
several reasons. Numerous routine and high-profile cases have demonstrated the
harsh reality that, despite the availability of modern technologies for examining a
crime scene, specialized equipment and sophisticated forensic laboratory analyzes,
the effective use of physical evidence in solving crimes brings only benefit, as
well as knowledge and integrity. crime scene personnel and an objective legal
system that supports these functions. [Sources: 7, 10]

However, this information can be critical in solving a court case or crime, and
forensic computing is often used to find and store this information. Forensic
science plays an important role in the criminal justice system, providing evidence-
based information through the analysis of physical evidence, identifying criminals
through personal evidence such as fingerprints, blood or hair drops, mobile phones
or other gadgets, vehicles, and weapons. Primarily used in criminal cases,
forensics are concerned with finding and examining physical traces used to
establish a suspicion of a crime at the crime scene or on the victim. Evidence
found or not found at the crime scene is delivered to laboratories where it is
analyzed using various technologies and methods. Physical evidence is collected by
investigators with the help of a team of forensic experts and is very useful.
[Sources: 0, 2, 12, 13]

The crime scene is the most important place for investigators to get useful
information about the crime and gather evidence about what happened during the
crime. Forensic medical examination using evidence found at the scene, using
scientific techniques, provides the investigator with excellent information. With
the help of forensic techniques and experts, the whole issue of a crime, including
the subject of a crime, is solved. Forensic science is one of the most important
aspects of any criminal investigation because it can enable the authorities to do
everything from positively identifying a crime suspect to pinpointing exactly when
and how a crime occurred. [Sources: 1, 2, 7]

Forensic science also includes everything that helps in the collection, storage and
investigation of evidence, such as DNA identification, design examination and
explosives identification [4]. The duties and responsibilities of a forensic
scientist in a criminal investigation are critical, as they include scrutinizing
evidence to ensure it has not been tampered with. Most of the pioneering work in
the field of forensic science originated on the European continent, and many of
them can be called concrete contributions to the creation of the foundations of
forensic science using the method of natural and allied sciences. A crime is the
location where a particular crime was committed or where there is physical evidence
of that crime when it is first brought to the attention of the police. [Sources: 0,
3, 4]

Key steps in criminal profiling include in-depth analysis of the crime scene,
analysis of incidence and comparison with similar events in the past, assessment of
the past and activities of victims, consideration of all possible causes, and
preparation of a detailed description of suspected crimes. for comparison with
previous cases. [Sources: 4]
