CJS215 INTRODUCTION TO FORENSICS .doc CJS/215 Explaining Forensics CJS/215: Introduction to Forensics Explaining Forensics Forensic science goes back to many centuries. There have been individu... als 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 victims 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. References 1. Saferstein, Ph.D., ().
