The history of forensic science and criminology is older than you know.\u00a0 You might think of it as starting with the CSI series of TV programmes.\u00a0 The glitz, glamour and intrigue of these programmes might even have pushed you towards researching criminology courses<\/a>.\u00a0 However, the truth is that the history of forensic science and criminology dates back millennia.\u00a0 Look at this infographic on the history of science and crime! You will be amazed to find that enquiry began as early as 3000 BC with the removal of internal organs to assess the reason for death.<\/p>\n

However, it took thousands of years to get to where we are at now in science and criminology. If you look to when DNA was first used to solve the murder of Dawn Ashworth, it was a mere 33 years ago. \u00a0What year did we discover DNA? Well, this is a much more complicated question.\u00a0 Historians might lay the year of birth of the theory of DNA to be 1953, with Watson and Crick.\u00a0 However, most theorists would look further back to the work of Swiss chemist Johann Friedrich Miescher<\/a> in the 1860s.\u00a0 He began the research to find the different components of blood, which would underpin the analysis to follow.\u00a0 As you will learn on any forensic science course<\/a>, scientists have built the theories of today on the shoulders of those that questioned, tested and queried before.<\/p>\n

The fascinating thing about the evolution of science and crime is that the efforts to progress techniques do not stop.\u00a0 Criminologists and pathologists continue to look to ways of gathering evidence and so foiling the attempts of those who wish to harm.\u00a0 There might not be the ground-breaking discoveries, such as the testing of DNA, but there are small movements forward.\u00a0 It will help detectives immensely to be able to get fingerprint evidence even after cleaning.\u00a0 Detectives can now progress cases thanks to the analysis done of footprints.<\/p>\n

Science and crime are such essential partners because the evidence provided is often hard to dispute.\u00a0 Therefore, if you look at the evolution of science and crime in this infographic, you will see how essential talented scientists are to the police.<\/p>\n
