The Crucial Role of Forensic Science in Solving Modern-Day Crimes: An Analysis of the Criminal Justice System

Abstract

Today’s criminal justice system relies heavily on forensic science because it enables investigators to collect and examine physical evidence from places of crime in order to identify individuals and determine their guilt or innocence. It aids the court in coming to an intelligent decision. Thus, it lessens the likelihood of any injustice. It is currently widely adopted all over the world. From its earliest roots in ancient civilizations to the contemporary methods used to obtain and analyze physical evidence, forensic science has undergone a tremendous evolution over time. In order to identify suspects and determine their guilt or innocence, “forensic science” has come out essential to the “criminal justice system”. The following research paper seeks to determine the significance of “forensic science” in solving modern-day crimes in the criminal prosecution. It also examines the difficulties & restrictions faced by forensic science, as well as the potential for mistakes or incorrect interpretation of the available evidence. There are still constraints and difficulties that need to be resolved in forensic science, despite its advancements. The report finishes with suggestions for potential future studies to get around these challenges and guarantee that forensic science continues to be useful in resolving modern-day crimes.
