Abstract

Forensic science and victimology are critical fields within the criminal justice system, each contributing uniquely to understanding crime, its impact on victims, and the mechanisms for delivering justice. Forensic science employs scientific principles to investigate and analyze evidence from crime scenes, utilizing techniques such as DNA profiling, fingerprint analysis, and digital forensics to link perpetrators to criminal activities. This field has seen significant advancements, particularly with the integration of technology that enhances evidence collection and analysis, thereby increasing the reliability of criminal investigations.Victimology, emerging as a distinct discipline in the late 20th century, focuses on the experiences, needs, and rights of victims. It seeks to understand the psychological, social, and economic consequences of crime, while also advocating for the rights and support of victims within the criminal justice system. By examining patterns of victimization and the factors that contribute to crime, victimology informs policies aimed at preventing victimization and enhancing the support provided to those affected by crime. The intersection of forensic science and victimology is crucial in addressing the complexities surrounding crime and its aftermath.
