Forensic Science Unit 1 Introduction

Hello and welcome to unit one of forensic science. Today we're just going to be talking about the introduction to unit one. Which is the vocabulary and the objectives. Let's get right into it. So unit one is forensics and criminal justice. That's what we're going to be covering. The overview, unit one overview objective one, I can identify proper protocol and errors in forensic investigative techniques. And suggest appropriate procedures. Objected two, I can describe the steps of the scientific method objected three, I can just string distinguish between the different forensic science fields. And the responsibilities of key investigators. Objective four, I can apply deductive reasoning to a problem to find a solution. Objective five, I can explain the CSI affecting distinguished real forensic procedures from those popularized by the entertainment industry. So this one right here is basically what you see on TV versus in real life and how that affects certain things. In court and stuff, objective 6, I can explain how historical events have accumulated in the collective forensic techniques we use today. So those are just your objectives that you will be able to these are the things that you will be able to do at the end of this unit. Unit one, vocabulary acquitted found means not found, not guilty. Anthropometry is the study and of the measurements of the human body. Constant variables are perimeters that are held constant throughout their experiments. So this is going to be within the unit two, I believe. Control group also in unit two is the group of test subjects. I mean, that unit two, lesson two is the group of test subjects that does not receive exposure to the independent variable normal group. Used as a basis for comparison council is a lawyer or a group of lawyers to conduct a reasoning is a type of reasoning in which an individual reduces the option from the most general to the most specific. We'll see deductive reasoning and lesson three. The dependent variable is the measured variables value is expected to depend on exposure to the independent variable. Due process is fair treatment entitled to all individuals in a court of law. Expert testimony is statement given by qualified person in a particular field. Eyewitness is a person who has seen an event or karmakar. Eyewitness testimonies or statements giving our first name witnesses in a court of law. Forensic is relating to techniques you've sent investigate crime, forensic science is applying the scientific method to the investigation of a crime. Hypothesis, the testable statement, independent variable, are the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates. So you can remember that by the I is I change right here. I change the variable. All right. And doctor reasoning, which we'll see in less than three is types of reasoning in which specific details are used to arrive at a broader conclusion. Law is a statement that describes something that always happens the same way under the same conditions. Observation is something that is seen hard or otherwise noticed subpoena is a document ordered ordering a person to court. There is an explanation that accounts for a body of experimental evidence or that can be derived solely from observations. It explains how something happens, a variable is a factor that can influence an observatory. So that is it for the introduction in the next lesson and lesson one. We will look at the history of forensic science. Thank you. And until next time.
