What you'll learn
Forensic scientists can appear for either side, prosecution or defence in criminal matters, and the plaintiff or defendant in civil ones. They tend to present their findings and opinions in written form, either as formal statements of evidence or reports. Sometimes they are required to attend court to give their evidence in person. However, the evidence is produced, and whether supporting the case for the prosecution or the defence, the evidence collected and presented by forensic scientists is subject to the rules of evidence and the provisions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. For this reason, the importance of the continuity of the chain of evidence will be stressed throughout the course.
