Hello, megprincess! Welcome to Hypography.

 

Forensics is not one of my specialties, but I thought I would greet you and let you know that we have a number of folks here who might be able to answer your questions. I watch a lot of CSI and I have a degree in physics, so it's even possible I might be able to answer one or two, if they're not too hard.

 

In the meantime, why not tell us a bit more about you, and your interest in forensics. Are you going for a degree in forensics or criminology or something similar? Go ahead a drop your first question and let's see if we can help.

Welcome! I'm interested in forensics too, although I'm one of the non-science people around here. I might be able to suggest some books, although they would quickly show themselves to be unscientific.

 

A good, unscientific start would be the books by Berton Roueche that created the televesion series, "Medical detectives."

 

Good luck. Let us know how you're doing.
