Forensic archaeology is the application of archaeological techniques to crimes, in most cases.  Archaeologists are frequently called in to properly excavate and evaluate human remains, especially human remains that have been in the ground for some time.  They are frequently called as expert witnesses in trials.  Forensic archaeology involves not only the careful collection of evidence in the field using archaeological techniques such as remote sensing technology, scientific excavation techniques, and reconstruction, but also frequently includes the careful analysis of remains to establish identity, time/date of death, and if possible cause of death.  Forensic archaeologists are also frequently called in to work on evidence of war crimes or genocide or disasters in which a large number of human remains need to be collected and identified and/or evidence collected regarding the manner of death and deposition.

Science is broadly sub-divided into the categories of natural sciences and the social sciences. There are also related disciplines that are grouped into interdisciplinary and applied sciences, such as engineering and health science. Within these categories are specialized scientific fields that can include elements of other scientific disciplines but often possess their own terminology and body of expertise. Examples of diverse scientific specialities include archaeology, forensic psychology, materials science, microbiology, nuclear physics and paleontology.

Hey, that's cool!! My best friend's nephew just finished his first year of college to be a CSI. The show is what inspired him to become one. She told me the other day that he has 6 or 7 more years to go. \n\nI did a search on the internet for websites about forensic science. Here's the link to my search results. http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ytff1-&p=forensic%20science&ei=UTF-8\n\nStick to your dream and good luck in the future!!

dont think there is such thing//major as forensic psychology but try just googling it or try http://www.coin3.com/ that site lets u lok for colleges based on years, major, and location. but i think u ned to get like a user code, which i got from my teacher becus we ned it for our isearch. good luck.

Profiling is an investigative technique and forensic science with many names and a history of being practiced on many levels for many years.  It is extensively represented and glamorized in books and film.  It is most commonly associated with law enforcement, although profiling takes place in other areas and in other contexts not limited to criminal justice (Harris 2002; Bumgarner 2004).  There is fundamental difference, however, with criminal justice profiling as normally, one is looking for an "unknown" person, not just profiling a celebrity or known individual on the basis of public domain information.  Many dictionaries and encyclopedias tend to call this offender profiling or criminal profiling.  The next most common names for it are psychological criminal profiling, or simply psychological profiling. The FBI approach produced the name criminal personality profiling. Criminologists tend to think of it as a type of applied criminology or clinical criminology, and some in criminal justice tend to strongly associate it with crime scene reconstruction and detectives or former detectives tend to call it criminal investigation assessment or crime assessment. Alison & Canter (1999) say that profiling almost always takes place after a crime scene has been examined, but there are many profilers who only work with crime scene records and reports and consult from behind a desk.  Holmes & Holmes (2002) prefer the name sociopsychological profiling, and like many others, think of it as a type of behavioral investigative analysis or criminal investigative analysis.  There is a tendency in some circles to believe that profiling is a learned ability which comes from experience working as a detective (the so-called "feel" for crime, or the profiling-as-art dimension), and this is WRONG since good profiling will blend educational and training backgrounds.  To be a good profiler, one needs to have knowledge of sociology, psychology, psychiatry, and criminology, as well as the ability to blend the theories of these disciplines with common sense.

Actually, you could work in forensic science.

Forensic Psychology, if you have a sciences background then Forensic Medicine.

Chemistry and microbiology double major will probably get you the closest to forensic pathology background.  You may want to consider after that attending a graduate program in forensic pathology specifically.  A solid chemistry and biochemistry background will take you a long way in many fields, and is a great foundation for anyone interested in the sciences.  They are particularly relevant to forensic pathology because the techniques and background of this field are based on chemical and microbiological sciences.  Along the way, you're going to have to take other courses in physics and biology as corequesites.  Best wishes!

A background in criminal justice and a science field would be useful.  You have to understand the laws of evidence collection as well as how to interpret the evidence.\n\nThe science background should include biology, chemistry (including organic and biochemistry), entomology, bacteriology, genetics, and physics.\n\nLots of colleges are now offering forensics classes (some are even in the anthropology department), so it would be wise to talk to advisors at a university.  \n\nDon't be drawn into this field because you watch CSI or any of its spinoffs.  Try watching The New Detectives or The Forensic Files instead.  The shows on  Discovery and Court TV tend to be a lot more realistic in application.

What you're interested in is calle Phrenology. As a "scientific" discipline, I'm afraid it was abandoned in the 19th century. \nHere's some links for more information:\nHistory of Phrenology\nhttp://pages.britishlibrary.net/phrenology/\nPeople who still think it's useful:\nhttp://www.phrenology.org/

Forensics is the study of failed units and to determine the root cause of the failure.\nThe analysis is used to help to improve the reliability and safe use of a product.\n\ni.e. a crash helmet worn by a race car driver or a motorcyclist after an accident. The study will review the impact on the helmet in relationship to the head injury if there was one.

Not necessarily.  Criminology would be defined as crime science or the study of crimes and criminals.  Criminal Justice is the application of criminal laws to the prosecution of crimes and the perpetrators thereof, in other words police work.  Somewhere between those two would be criminal forensics or forensic science.\nYou need to decide whether you want to be a police officer, a scientist or a pshychologist.

No, the other answer is wrong: This is exactly the meaning:\n\nLaboratory of Criminalistic Sciences and Forensic Medicine\n\nJudicial is used on France for Criminalistic\nand Legal Medicine is the term to describe Forensics
