Welcome to Forensic Science! 

My name is Karina Gonzalez, and I will be your teacher for Spring 2020.

Conference: 3^rd Block

Forensic Science is a course that uses a structured and scientific approach to the investigation of crimes of assault, abuse and neglect, domestic violence, accidental death, homicide, and the psychology of criminal behavior. Students will learn terminology and investigative procedures related to crime scene, questioning, interviewing, criminal behavior characteristics, truth detection, and scientific procedures used to solve crimes. Using scientific methods, students will collect and analyze evidence through case studies and simulated crime scenes such as fingerprint analysis, DNA analysis, ballistics, and blood spatter analysis. Students will learn the history, legal aspects, and career options for forensic science.
