Course Description of a class called “Cross-Examining Forensic Science“:
“Fingerprinting, forensic anthropology, polygraphs, DNA identification, criminal biobanking—an increasing number of technologies characterize the contemporary practice of police investigation and criminal prosecution. With them they bring not only important questions about reliability and “good” science, but also ethical and social debates about the practice of justice. In this course, we bring together an exploration of the science of forensics with a critical examination of its history, practice, and portrayal in popular culture. “
INCREDIBLE. I’m such a nerd, but still. INCREDIBLE.
