Forensic Science I

Connell School of Nursing

Forensic science concepts and principles play a critical role in analyzing crime scene evidence. This course draws on scientific principles and examines cases where there has been a death, including suicide, accidental, and criminal; and cases where there is a survivor, in which there is a legal and/or ethical component. Specifically, the course applies a case method format to forensic science issues including forensic pathology, clinical forensics, crime victims, computer crime and equivocal death.
