Most of us are fascinated by a good crime story where they always solve the crime by the end of the movie or TV show. Solving crimes in real life is a bit more complicated – but often more fascinating since truth is often stranger than fiction. The science of forensics uses a variety of tools such as analysis of fibers, shoe prints, DNA, blood spatters, handwriting, fingerprints, etc. In this class we will explore these tools and methods. Presenters will select a specific tool and explain how it works and how it is used in crime solving. Presenters will be encouraged to use real life cases as examples of how the tool played a major role in solving the case.
