A forensic investigation refers to the collection, examination, and analysis of evidence in order to understand or solve a crime or a dispute. Forensics is derived from the Latin word “forensis,” which means “pertaining to the forum,” in ancient Rome referring to public discussions or debates. Today, it mainly refers to the scientific methods used to solve crimes.
