As a forensic scientist you’ll provide scientific evidence for use in courts of law to support the prosecution or defence in criminal and civil investigations. You’ll be primarily concerned with searching for and examining contact trace material associated with crimes.

This material can include:
* blood and other body fluids
* hairs
* fibres from clothing
* paint and glass fragments
* tyre marks
* flammable substances used to start fire
* restricted drugs.

Although evidence is usually presented in writing as a formal statement or report, you may have to attend court to give your evidence in person as an expert witness.
Types of Forensic Scientist

Job activities depend on the area of forensics in which you work.

The main areas are:

* chemistry – connected to crimes against property, such as burglary and arson. You’ll be involved in the examination of substances such as paint or chemicals, including fire investigation and accident reconstruction.
* biology – connected to crimes against people, such as murder, assault and rape. You’ll be carrying out DNA testing and the examination of minute contact traces, such as blood, hair and clothing fibres.
* drugs and toxicology – where you’ll be testing for restricted drugs, examining tissue specimens for poison detection, and analysing blood and urine samples for alcohol, for example in drink driving offences.
