Traumatic injury is recognized world wide as a major public health problem. Each culture may present its own unique drama in types of crime, weapons, and drugs; and no age, race, religion, or socioeconomic group is spared from the devastating effects. These traumas produce both physical and emotional aftermath for the victim, family and community. Forensic science concepts and principles play a critical role in analyzing crime scene evidence. This course draws on scientific principles and examines cases where there has been a death, including suicide, accidental, and criminal. In addition, cases are discussed in which there is a survivor with regard to legal and ethical components. Specifically, the course applies a case method format to forensic science issues including forensic pathology, clinical forensics, crime victims, computer crime, and equivocal death.
