What is Forensic Science?
The word
forensic comes from the Latin word forensis: public;
to the forum or public discussion; argumentative,
rhetorical, belonging to debate or discussion. From there it
is a small step to the modern definition of forensic
as belonging to, used in or suitable to courts of
judicature, or to public discussion or debate. Forensic
science is science used in public, in a court, or in the
justice system. Any science used for the purposes of the law
is a forensic science.
