Forensic science deals with the investigation and reconstruction of crime with the help of application of science and technology. It is also known as criminalistics, as it is used to solve the argument in the criminal justice system, as governed by the legal standards of admissible evidence and criminal procedure. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyse scientific evidence with the help of analytical instruments during the course of an investigation. While some forensic scientists visit to the scene of the crime to collect the evidence themselves, others occupy a laboratory role, performing analysis on objects brought to them by other individuals. Forensic science is a combination of two different Latin words: forensis and science. The former, forensic, relates to a discussion or examination performed in public. Because trials in the ancient world were typically held in public, it carries a strong judicial connotation. The second is science, which is derived from the Latin word for 'knowledge' and is today closely tied to the scientific method, a systematic way of acquiring knowledge.
