This major gives a systematic introduction to the principles and practice of forensic biology. Forensic biology is the science underlying many forensic investigations, applying knowledge of human anatomy and cellular physiology to determine the reasons for crime scene events. Forensic biology also forms the basis of a large portion of the techniques used at the crime scene.
