Crime Scene & Forensic Science

A miniscule flake of paint, data from a mobile phone or DNA taken from droplets of blood can trap a murderer. How do you extract vital evidence from a crime scene or digital device? How do you present it as an exhibit in court? How do you use scientific theory to back up your findings?
The University is an established centre in the UK for undergraduate and postgraduate education in forensic and crime scene science. Teesside also has a long tradition of providing quality education in criminal justice and law at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
