Program Integration
The application of forensic science principles to crime scene and victim investigation can greatly enhance the performance of investigators and prosecutors. It is also the necessary foundation for the specialized work that takes place in the laboratory. Development of an integrated and phased plan for the improvement and adoption of the various forensic science specialties will identify the critical path to maximum success.
