I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
Our office gets journals from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the International Association for Identification, as well as smaller publications like newsletters for the Florida Division of the IAI and the one for the association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts.
I have no idea. You'd have to ask the review board. Since statistics are just numbers, how do you know it's not included?

That's an excellent question but you need an anthropologist to answer it. I'm afraid I don't know. Sorry!

How often would you find yourself in real danger?

Have you ever given someone the wrong prescription?
I'm sorry but I wouldn't have any idea. You'd have to ask an anthropologist.
This may vary by county or state, but I am not because I'm a civilian employee and not a sworn officer.
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.
