CRIME SCENE INSECTS
YES ITS CSI: CRIME SCENE INSECTS..
FROM BADLY DECOMPOSED BODY TO A FRESHLY DECOMPOSING CORPSE..THESE TINY LITTLE CREATURES TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME OF DEATH AND THE BODY ITSELF...
Forensic entomology is a young subfield, which is the application of this science to medicolegal death investigations. Forensic Entomologists estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI)—the amount of time that passes after the death of the victim. These scientists use insects to make such determinations, as well as to help reveal the probable cause, location, and time of death. Forensic Entomologists are also able to glean other valuable information by studying the insects that live on dead bodies. For example, insect evidence can be used to:
• deduce if a body was disturbed or moved after death
• identify a body by analyzing the DNA of flesh consumed by insects
• determine whether a dead individual used drugs by analyzing accumulated toxins in the insects that fed on the body
• establish whether a suspect was present at the scene of a crime
• ascertain the presence or position of wounds in badly decomposed bodies
Forensic Entomologists have expertise about the life cycle of insects that feed on decomposing flesh. They know that certain insects eat specific parts of bodies at particular intervals. Insects also develop through their life phases from egg to larvae to pupae to adults within a constant timeframe according to each insect species.

WILDLIFE FORENSICS
I was a Graduate in Zoology... had planned a free ranger life after graduation but then you know life also takes you somewhere you wouldn't think of... well and I landed up in Forensics... Not Wildlife Forensics.. Just a General Forensic Course...
But a passion in me hasn't faded away..i still love the Discovery Channel, NatGeo.. Detective Stories on Wildlife Crime.
I am a Forensic Expert at IFO Forensic Standards and Research Pvt Ltd. Well, and the best part of my job is promoting forensics.. which I gladly do...
I have like 8-10 pages on Forensics- I will just give you only link and you will find them all.
Now coming to Wildlife Forensics... I do not know how many of you have heared about it. But to put in short ; it basically involves investigation of crime against animals... YEAH! YOU heard that right!
If you do wanna look how Wildlife Forensics help...get updated I have created a page: Wildlife Forensics at Facebook:
You can find the batch here... You would be updated with the Latest Techniques in Forensic WildLife, WildLife Crimes, Courses in Wildlife Forensics, NGO, Associations involved in it...etc....
If you are not on Facebook...we are on twitter too
www.twitter.com/IFOExperts
(Well it is a general forensic account.. would make all forensic fields individual )
Well.. Follow me I will be here more often.. I have just set up a Adsense Account so... would be very hurt to see if that doesnt work.. lol!!
Catch you guys on Facebook or Twitter

Forensic Science IndiaAn Information Guide to Forensic Science
FORENSIC IN INDIA:
The application of science and technology to the detection and investigation of crime and administration of justice is not new to India. Although our ancestors did not know forensic science in its present form, scientific methods in one way or the other seem to have been followed in the investigation of crime. Its detailed reference is found in Kautilya’s ‘Arthashastra,’ which was written about 2300 years ago. Indians studied various patterns of the papillary lines, thousands of years ago. It is presumed that they knew about the persistency and individuality of fingerprints, which they used as signatures. Even Mr. KM Kata, a frequent contributor to ‘Nature’, stated that the Chinese records proved the use of fingerprints in an ancient kingdom of southern India. The Indians knew for long that the handprints, known as the Tarija’, were inimitable. The use of fingerprints as signatures by illiterate people in India, introduced centuries ago, was considered by some people as ceremonial only, till it was scientifically proved that identification from fingerprints was infallible.
Eligibility: To take up a bachelors degree you need to be from a bio background however due to the diversity many open field like maths, computers, are come in the forefront. For masters course in forensic science you need to be a graduate preferably with a first division in Physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, biochemistry, microbiology, B.pharm, BDS or applied science.
Job Prospects and Career options : One can find employment with law enforcement agencies, police, legal system and in the investigative services of the government and also private agencies. They can also work as teachers in institutes that conduct courses in this subject.
Remuneration : Remuneration for various state forensics departments would be as per government pay scales. The state department salaries begin around Rs. 4000
Institutes : Many Institutes offer Forensic Science Courses.
