Forensic science the application of science to those criminal and civil laws that are enforced by police agencies in a criminal justice system. A forensic scientist analyzes physical evidence and gives written information and/or expert testimony in a court of law. There are many disciplines and career paths within forensic science.
Many forensic scientists work in crime laboratories. For example, a forensic biologist usually specializes in DNA analysis or continues to medical school to pursue a career as a medical examiner, a forensic chemist analyzes non-biological trace evidence found at crime scenes in order to identify unknown materials and match samples to known substances.
Forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, forensic entomology, forensic psychiatry, forensic odontology, forensic engineering and so on.
If you wish to work in a crime laboratory, you must obtain a degree where you have a sound grounding in the basic sciences of chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics. For most jobs you must also have a masters degree in biology or chemistry. A major in criminal justice is not adequate preparation for a career in forensic science.
If you want to get ready for this career starting in high school, you should take as many mathematics and science courses as possible, develop public speaking skills, enhance your writing skills.
A crime laboratory usually includes five basic services:
1. Physical Science unit: uses the principles of chemistry, physics, and geology to identify and compare physical evidence;
2. Biology unit: applies knowledge of biological sciences in order to investigate blood samples, body fluids, hair and fiber samples;
3. Firearms unit: investigates discharged bullets, cartridge cases, shotgun shells and ammunition;
4. Document unit: provides the skills needed for handwriting analysis and other questioned document issues; and
5. Photographic unit: applies specialized photographic techniques for recording and examining physical evidence.
Additional services may include toxicology, fingerprint analysis, voiceprint analysis, evidence collection and polygraph (lie detector) administration.

Forensic biologists utilize scientific methodology and analyses to investigate matters that involve public legal systems, including crime and civil actions. The majority of a forensic biologist's work occurs in the laboratory, but they often collect evidence from the "field" at crime scenes or other areas of interest to the legal system. This evidence can include human, animal or plant remains, DNA traces, physical material like clothing fibers, and other material that can be helpful to legal investigations. Forensic biologists have degrees in either forensic science or biological sciences with a focus on forensics, and they may work for law enforcement or government agencies, private and consulting companies that specialize in laboratory analyses, or at universities.
There are multiple other sub disciplines and specializations of forensic biology. Forensic botany involves the study of plant material and related DNA, which can be of use for investigations ranging from illegal drugs to homicide. For example, forensic botanists may link plant material found with crime scene victims to specific areas where the crime occurred, or even to suspects. Analyses of tree growth can also indicate how long associated human remains have been buried. Forensic botanists may collect material ranging from tree cores to pollen and leaves in the field, and then examine this material with microscopes or DNA analyses. Another forensic biology specialty is forensic entomology, or the study of insects and other invertebrates that are related to legal system investigations.

Forensic science is the application of science, used by police and law enforce agencies for gathering evidence and examining information about the past, related to crime or crime scene, later it produced before Court for trails. The word forensic originates from the Latin forensis, meaning "of or before the forum."
Physical evidence are usually article or objects found at the site for crime (SOC) may contain footmarks, hand marks fingerprints, bite-marks, tire-marks, blood, clothes, wallets, Debit/Credit card, cell phone etc moreover, hairs, papers gunshot, bullets, room article, door, fan, fibers and computer. Physical evidence is used to linkage together the suspect, victim and scene, later on presented in the court for case trail and plays crucial role in outcome of justice

Act allows any third person except judge as expert as to the presence of the facts in issue or facts that are relevant to a matter.it is expected the Judge can’t be expert in all fields particularly where the subject matters encompass technical or focused knowledge in many complex cases. In these situations he needs the help of expert who possess the special higher class exceptional knowledge or experience on subject of matters, based on principles Court can’t form opinion panel on matters which is very complicated and sophisticated without aide of persons who have learnt unusual understanding and skill on particular subject or topic. Conditions for admitting an expert opinion are following:- That the dispute can’t be resolved without expert opinion and that the witness expressing the opinion is really an expert.
The definition of an expert may be referred from the provision of Sec.45 of Indian Evidence Act that an ‘Expert’ means a person who has outstanding and sophisticated knowledge, skill or experience in any of the following---- Foreign law, Science, Art, handwriting or fingerprint, footprint impression.

Crime scene investigators is special trained forensic expert or police officer who analyses the crime scene and search for physical and latent evidence and collect them then submit to forensic laboratory. He also secure the crime scene, sketch the crime scene, takes photographs
Forensic anthropologist is accomplished educated person who is an expert in human skeletal, based on his knowledge determine the age, gender, height, bone analysis, cause of death using bones in forensic lab, defence research lab, hospital labs
A forensic pathologist is a medical doctor by profession whose job is to determine the cause of death in cases of doubtful death. A forensic pathologist has a college degree, followed by a medical degree, and a 2-4 year internship in pathology lab. Forensic pathologist is responsible for determining the cause of death, manner of death (Homicide, Suicide, accident or natural death)
Forensic entomology is the study of insect and bugs. A forensic entomologist has wide knowledge and training in entomology, usually with a Ph.D. and M.Sc. the duties of entomologist is same as the crime scene investigator but, it is exercise on bugs, insects to determine the cause of death, age, gender, larva, decomposing corpse of insects, also examine the blood sample, DNA testing for determine species.
Forensic Psychology is the branch of Medical Science and it is an intersection of Psychology and legal law. Psychologist perform many roles clinically on serial criminals like medical treatment, counselling, Brain mapping, neurology, analyzing, mental disorder, distress, addiction and many more, the work of Psychologist is to analyses, examine, diagnose and scan everything related to their clinical history, social behaviour, family background etc. after preparing through report. It will be produced in the court to legal proceeding, The job marketplace for criminal psychologists is very decent and limited but secure with healthy salary. Psychologist may works in Hospitals, Schools, Colleges, Universities and private organization or may open his/her own clinic to motivate and counsel children, employees, professional, distress women, disappointed people and criminals and juvenile
Criminology is the interdisciplinary field of behavior science in which study about various modest and rigorous crime including nature of crime, extent, causes, control, consequences and prevention of criminal and social behavior, both on the individual and social levels. In criminology also study that are used is Biology, Sociology, Psychology, Economics and Anthropology along with behavioral sciences, drawing especially upon the research of sociologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social anthropologists, as well as scholars of law. Poverty, poor education and persistent unemployment are main causes of prompted crime. Countries have highest crime rate like India, Kenya, and Nigeria. UK USA, Canada Germany, France, Russia, Italy and South Africa. Scientist believes that punishment can fit the criminals not the crime thus, all in all we need to fit the cause of committing crime.
Forensic anthropology is a multi-disciplinary approach to uncover the human anatomy, generally, we study the human skeleton and body to determine the age, gender, height, width and ethnicity of body bases on the bones for civil legal proceedings. Furthermore, Anthropology consists of four subfields: archaeology, physical anthropology (human remain or bones, teeth), cultural anthropology and linguistics (language anthropology), over the past recent year physical anthropology is developed and research more rather than other sub-fields. After research and analysis evolve many method to identify human past basis on bones such as age, gender, how old were they, how were they died? How tall? A forensic anthropologist can help law enforcement in establishing a profile on the unidentified remains. The profile includes sex, ethnicity, height, length of time since death, and sometimes the evaluation of trauma seen on bones.
Wildlife forensic is the study of wild animals and their behavior toward fellow animals, since the wildlife expert is also keep watch on illegal selling, purchasing, killing, poaching for wild trade. Many wild animal are very useful for some industries like pharmaceutical, medical, lather, and textile. The duties of Wildlife forensic expert are same duties as other forensic investigators, including collecting evidence from crime scenes, analyzing weapons, and cause of death. Though, unlike in criminal forensic investigation, the victim and sometimes the criminal is an animal instead of a human
Computer or cyber forensic is the division of digital forensic science in which study and analysis the various cybercrime and extract evidence from digital devices. If believe to a research, cybercrime increased by 40% in India only, the duties for cyber forensic expert is gather information, data from computing devices and preserve them as prime evidence for presentation in court. The goal computer forensic is to perform through investigation and analysis of all collected electronic device and storages media and examine all in a forensically sound manner with purpose to identifying, preserving, recovering, investigating and presenting truths and opinions about the digital information in Cyber forensic Lab, they also do Cyber Security, Network and server security, illegal use of internet, email, MMS, SMS examination, data recovery/restoration these fact later may produce in legal proceeding in courts
