Advanced Techniques in Forensic Science CRIM 451 (3)

Examines the advanced and sometimes more controversial areas of forensic science used in the criminal justice system today. Most areas are those outside the crime lab and require extensive and in-depth training in a very focused field. Seminars may cover areas such as the use of polygraph, blood spatter pattern analysis, entomology, pathology, anthropology, genocide investigation, DNA, forensic art, psychological profiling, crime scene analysis and wildlife crime. Prerequisite: CRIM 101. Recommended: CRIM 355.
