Forensic Science!
**Forensic science is the study of physical evidence to solve crimes. A forensic scientist may have to** **go to the crime scene, sometimes have an autopsy examination, piece together the identity of the criminal, trace the evidence, narrow the suspects, find murder tools, then find the criminal.For each of these jobs there is a different field of forensic science.**

Forensic Reconstruction
===Scientists who practice forensic reconstruction try to recreate crime scenes so they can further understand them. They also can use technology to reconstruct people's faces from witnesses, or by looking at their bones. ===  

Forensic Nursing
=== Forensic nurses provide care for victims. Some specialties in this field are forensic nurse investigator, nurse coroner/death investigator, and sexual assault nurse examiner. ===

Scientist who use forensic technology use advanced technology to solve crimes. one of the most popular fields in this section of forensics is ballistics, which is the study of bullets from the time they leave the gun to the time they make impact. It is used to identify what kind of weapons were used in a crime. Because of forensic technology scientist can figure out many things just from the small fragments that might be left from a bullet. **

**Another section of Forensic Technology is latent print technology. Scientist use this to identify fingerprints, footprints, and handprints.** **Another section of forensic technology is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis. DNA analysis was introduced in the mid 1980's and has freed many innocent people and found many others guilty. DNA analysis works because each person has unique DNA.** **A small field of forensic technology is serology. Scientist practicing serology study blood and other bodily fluids for identification of crimals and blood typing. Through analyze bloods stains they can find out the direction, velocity, distance and source of the blood.**

<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">** Forensic Biology A Forensic Biologist examines blood, hair, bodily fluids, and bones to identify victims and solve crimes. There are many types of forensic biologist. Some types are forensic anthropology, forensic entomology, and forensic botany.**

<span style="font-size: 160%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">**Forensic Ondontology <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> A scientist that practices forensic Ondontology is a forensic dentist. Using peoples teeth they can i dentify human remains that cannot be identified using fingerprints or other means, identify bodies in mass fatalities, such as plane crashes and natural disasters, determine the source of bite mark injuries, in cases of assault or suspected abuse, estimate the age of skeletal remains. They also testify in cases of dental malpractice ** <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">

<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">** Forensic Pathology **
 * Forensic pathologist are specially trained physicians who examines bodies who died suddenly, unexpectedly, or violently. They study the medical history, evaluate crime scene evidence including witness statements, perform an autopsy to uncover evidence of injury or disease, and collect medical and trace evidence from the body for further analysis** **.**

The salary of a forensic scientist varies by the amount of years they have been in this field. ** <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">**1 year-42,000 2-4 years is 44,878 5-9 years is 54,152 10-19 years 57,891 20 or more years is 77,932.**
