How is forensic science different from forensic medicine?

Hi Shivangi, Forensic science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyze scientific evidence during the course of an investigation. While some forensic scientists travel to the scene to collect the evidence themselves, others occupy a laboratory role, performing analysis on objects brought to them by other individuals. In addition to their laboratory role, forensic scientists testify as expert witnesses in both criminal and civil cases and can work for either the prosecution or the defense. While any field could technically be forensic, certain sections have developed over time to encompass the majority of forensically related cases. The application of medical knowledge to the investigation of crime, particularly in establishing the causes of injury or death. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert. Wish your luck.
