Forensic Science
Forensic Science at its core supports justice through two vital areas: forensic medicine and forensic document examination. Forensic medicine applies medical expertise to determine causes of injury or death, providing crucial insights in legal investigations. Forensic document examination focuses on verifying the authenticity of documents through handwriting analysis, ink and paper testing, and detecting alterations, ensuring the integrity of evidence in legal cases.
