What is Forensic Science?
Forensic Science
A process based upon the SCIENTIFIC METHOD involving:
1 Analysis – studying an unknown item to determine its essential characteristics.
– Ex: Fingerprints recovered at a C.S.

What is Forensic Science?
Forensic Science
A process based upon the SCIENTIFIC METHOD involving:
2 Comparison – examining how the characteristics compare with characteristics of known items.
– Ex: Fingerprints on a recovered weapon

![Page 13: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Criminalistics?
Forensic Science
“That profession and scientific discipline directed to the recognition, identification, individualization and evaluation of physical evidence by application of the natural sciences to law-science matters.”
![Page 14: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Criminalistics
Forensic Science
“The science of Individualization”
- no two things in nature are EXACTLY the same.
- to demonstrate the uniqueness of an item of evidence.
![Page 15: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EVIDENCE
Forensic Science
PERSONAL (eyewitness testimony)
PHYSICAL (fingerprints)
- very subjective & colored by personal attitudes & perceptions
- very objective & remains the same for each observer.
![Page 16: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Characteristics
Forensic Science
All NEW tires from the same mold show CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
As a tire is used, it develops nicks and wear patterns that show INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS
![Page 17: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Characteristics
Forensic Science
INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS allow a Criminalist to compare
the Questioned Evidence (a tire tread imprint at a CS)
to a Known Standard(a suspects tire)
![Page 18: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
INDIVIDUALIZATION
Forensic Science
Newcomb’s Rule: The probability of concurrence of all the separate events is equal to the continued product of the probabilities of all the separate events.”
- Dr. Simon Newcomb
![Page 19: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
INDIVIDUALIZATION
Forensic Science
A questioned document shows...a typewriter to have 5 individual characteristics: (84 keys total)
1/84 x 1/84 x 1/84 x 1/84 x 1/84
Total probability of uniqueness is1 out of 4.18 x 109 (~4 billion)
![Page 20: “Collins, I hate to start a Monday with a case like this!” Forensic Science Dan O’Brien Polson High Department of Forensic Science.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551abe245503466b6a8b4ae8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
INDIVIDUALIZATION
Forensic Science
GOAL: to provide data that will show, in a court of law, that an item of evidence is in some way unique and may, in fact, be attributable to a unique individual & either help convict or exonerate that individual.
