I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
I like doing both, because being in the lab all the time can get tedious, but being at crime scenes all the time can get exhausting.
Share Answer: 
I really don’t know, since my degree is in biology, not forensic science. You should ask one of faculty advisors in the forensic science program at the university (or better yet several universities). You could probably just call the departments on the phone and ask.
Share Answer: 
Well, if it's found on the victim, you might ask if it came from the suspect's clothing/upholstery/etc., and vice versa. Or it could similarly link either party to the crime scene, depending upon the circumstances of the case.

I'm sorry but I don't know. A DNA testing company can probably help you. Best of luck!

What do you think that New York does better or worse than other States?
No, just attention to detail and patience.
Share Answer: 
I think it's unlikely that there wouldn't be any injuries, but I'm afraid I couldn't tell you. You would need a pathologist for that.
Share Answer: 
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.
