In the modern era, where crime is at its peak and is increasing day by day. Culprits use innovative techniques to commit crimes and escape the judiciary for which the investigating officers are facing problem. The law enforcement agencies along with forensic scientist do invaluable work by linking evidences from the crime scene to the suspects. We follow the principle of Locard’s stating that offender always leave behind evidences at the crime scene subconsciously hence proving that no crime is a perfect crime. It is the ability of the investigating officer and experts to observe, differentiate and analyse evidences of forensic importance. These evidences are produced in front of judiciary by expert witnesses and help to solve cases of different nature from fraud to assault and also murder cases.
To emphasize the importance of scientific methods in crime detection.
