CRJ 381 Forensics

This course explores the application of science to the legal process. Forensic science is a multidisciplinary course drawing from students’ prior acquired knowledge in biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, and English classes. Students will participate in hands-on activities related to common crime scene evidence such as blood and DNA analysis, fingerprint evidence, and ballistics reports in the process of solving crimes and mysteries with the use of their acquired science skills and will explore from a biblical perspective how scientists play a role in the judicial system. This is an elective credit and does not fulfill credit for the core science requirement. (3 credits)
