| Abstract: | The multi-disciplinary field of forensic science frequently finds its academic home within criminal justice programs. After
examining the reasons for this academic linkage, an analysis of criminal justice curricular models and courses was undertaken
to assess their applicability to forensic science education and careers. The authors concluded that the relationship between
criminal justice and forensic science can be mutually beneficial; however, most criminal justice programs do not provide adequate
preparation for meaningful careers in forensic science. |
