Abstract
Forensic science and victim-ology are interconnected disciplines that play integral roles in the criminal justice system. Forensic science utilizes scientific principles and techniques to analyse physical evidence, aiding in criminal investigations. Victim-ology focuses on understanding and advocating for the rights and well-being of crime victims.This article explores the significance of forensic science and victim-ology in unveiling the truth and restoring justice. It highlights the diverse scientific fields within forensic science, such as forensic pathology, DNA analysis, and forensic ballistics. Victim-ology encompasses victim advocacy, surveys, victim impact statements, and restorative justice practices. The collaboration between forensic science and victim-ology is crucial, as they work together in crime scene analysis, victim identification, expert testimony, and trauma-informed approaches. Through their combined efforts, forensic science and victim-ology contribute to the fair resolution of cases, support victims, and foster a more comprehensive and compassionate approach to justice.
