How can an abandoned car, wiped free of fingerprints and devoid of license tags and all other identifying marks, help investigators solve a jewelry heist? This course seeks to answer questions like this one as students explore how forensic investigators uncover and analyze evidence from a "clean" crime scene.

How can an abandoned car, devoid of license plates, help detectives solve a jewel heist? How can a single strand of hair keep a man from going to jail for murder? In this course, you will uncover the answers to these types of questions while learning the science behind forensic investigation. After reviewing the scientific skills of observation and deduction, you’ll learn techniques forensic scientists use to analyze hair, fibers, fingerprints, impressions, and documents while processing a crime scene. You and your classmates will explore blood-typing and spatter patterns, toxicology, and DNA analysis. Through the study of notorious cases, such as the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, you will become familiar with the history of forensic science and advances in the field. And in mock investigations, you’ll use your newly acquired analytical techniques to uncover clues, examine evidence, draw conclusions, and crack cases.  
  
To the trained investigator, the dirt in the wheel wells and the bugs on the windshield are, in fact, valuable clues. Through case studies and lab exercises, students learn to use the sciences of forensic geology and entomology to figure out how scientists discover where the car traveled from and thus where to look for the perpetrators.

Note: Instructors gear their treatment of the material toward the age of students in the class, but some violent crimes are discussed.
 
 
In other mock investigations, students draw upon additional techniques employed by scientific investigators: fingerprinting; hair, fiber, and handwriting analysis; and profiling. They also explore the practices of blood typing, DNA analysis, forensic dentistry, and toxicology. Through studying famous criminal cases and a range of scientific methodologies, students use their new-found investigative techniques to "crack the case."

Course Description

From the CTY Course Catalog] (2023):

How can an abandoned car, devoid of license plates, help detectives solve a jewel heist? How can a single strand of hair keep a man from going to jail for murder? In this course, you will uncover the answers to these types of questions while learning the science behind forensic investigation. After reviewing the scientific skills of observation and deduction, you’ll learn techniques forensic scientists use to analyze hair, fibers, fingerprints, impressions, and documents while processing a crime scene. You and your classmates will explore blood-typing and spatter patterns, toxicology, and DNA analysis. Through the study of notorious cases, such as the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, you will become familiar with the history of forensic science and advances in the field. And in mock investigations, you’ll use your newly acquired analytical techniques to uncover clues, examine evidence, draw conclusions, and crack cases.

Note: Instructors gear their treatment of the material toward the age of students in the class, but some violent crimes are discussed.
