Forensic science is the application of science to civil and criminal laws more of during criminal investigations in legal cases following legal standards set by the concerned authorities by preserving evidence and following the procedure. Sherlock Holmes though a fictional character, was one of the Forensic Analysts of 19th century. Remember "The Hounds of Baskerville?" The procedures followed are those of Forensic Science. It is one of the interesting fields of Science if you know how to apply for the right opportunities. You need to sign up Professional networking sites like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, etc for the opportuniites. First you need to start off with Internships and later on move to full time opportunities with relevant experience. You can work in any of the fields like Art Forensics, Bloodstain pattern Analysis, Comparitative Forensics, Computational Forensics, Digital Forensics, Ear print Analysis, Election Forensics, Forensic Botany, Forensic chemistry, Forensic DNA Analysis, Forensic Psychiatry, Forensic Social Work, etc. Because this job requires you to be Highly Observant, analytical, and have research skills, you can also easily crack examinations like UPSC, SSC CHL,etc for Government Sector opportunities. And going by the current crime rate, there is a dearth of Forensic expertise. Lack of awareness about this field is what has created the deman in the market. These days even legal teams have been hiring Forensic Experts. Private Investigatirs as well hire Forensic Experts. CBI, Intelligence Bureau, Police Department, Forensic Laboratories, Hospitals, Legal Firms, Universities, Defense or Army, Private Detectives are the prime areas where you can be hired as Crime reporter, Forensic Analyst, Crime Laboratory Analyst, Forensic Psychiatrist, Forensic Seriologist, etc.
