Criminal Law for Forensic Scientists Study + Internship in London: London South Bank University Program Fall 2019 Semester

This module is designed to introduce forensic science students to the law of evidence. That is, to introduce non-law students to the function and operation of the law of evidence in the context of criminal matters. It concentrates on the concepts of relevance and judicial discretion, and teaches the students which types of evidence attract the rules of admissibility and why. Students are required to watch a criminal trial in one of the many crown courts in London or their local area to give them a context for the operation of the rules, and are taught a logical approach to analysing hypothetical problems relating to the admissibility of evidence
