✦ Synopsis

The historical evolution of the forensic sciences, with the formation of multiple sub-specialities including almost every subject known to man capable of supporting the designation science, has in large part been dictated by the evolution of science itself. At the turn of the century, it became apparent that contemporary scientific techniques could be used to support the police in their criminal investigative roles. Until that time the principal scientific input into crime investigation had been from university departments of forensic medicine and pathology, but it soon became apparint .that almost all branches of the newly developing scientific revolution could be applied to the field of crime investigation. The general philosophy that appeared to develop, and is still with us today, is that any scientific technique which can be applied to such work can be absorbed into this new, ever-expanding community of forensic sciences.
