What makes us different?
Interdisciplinary forensics is a field that integrates knowledge and techniques from multiple scientific disciplines to investigate and solve complicated legal cases. This approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of evidence, as different perspectives and tools are brought together to provide a more accurate and reliable understanding of complex cases.
Experts from various fields such as biology, chemistry, psychology, and computer science work collaboratively to analyze physical evidence, reconstruct events, analyze jury decision-making, false confessions, eyewitness identification, expert testimony, human factors, at-risk children, recidivism, advise family courts and provide testimony in criminal and civil court cases. The interdisciplinary nature of forensics ensures that legal cases are thoroughly examined and that justice is served.
