General Section
The General Section is the home of newly emerging forensic
scientific specialties, and for those established areas
of forensic science not fitting the more narrow definitions
or membership requirements of the other sections, or those
forensic specialists whose numbers are not sufficient to
support a separate section.
"There is literally no end to the number of disciplines
that become ‘forensic’ by definition.
Nor is there an end in sight to the number of present
or future specialties that may become forensic. The
examples are many."
