Definition of Forensic Science

Forensics is a field of science dedicated to the methodical gathering and analysis of evidence to establish facts that can be presented in a legal proceeding. Though crime scenes and laboratories are perhaps, most often associated with forensics, there is also computer or network forensics, forensic accounting, forensic engineering and forensic psychiatry, among other specialized fields that are today an integral part of forensics. In the United States of America, forensics was a fairly obscure topic for the general public until the double-murder trial of Orenthal James Simpson in 1995. In the historic case that gripped the entire nation, weeks of testimony were heard on DNA blood evidence, shoeprint evidence, fiber evidence and other forensics. Since then, a bevy of forensics-based television shows have regularly topped the ratings, making it a household word.

Forensic Computer Science

Computer forensics is the application of scientific methods to digital media in order to establish factual information for judicial review. The process often involves investigating computer systems to determine whether they are, or have been, used for illegal or unauthorized activities. Mostly, computer forensic experts investigate data storage devices, either fixed like hard discs or removable like compact disks and solid state devices. Computer forensics experts identify sources of documentary or other digital evidence, preserve the evidence, analyze it and present the findings.
