"Forensic Entomology is the application of basic and applied principles of insect biology and the collection of entomological data in such a manner that it can be used as evidence in criminal investigations to aid in resolving legal issues that are either criminal or civil in nature. The field is divided into three areas most often associated with the judicial system: Urban Entomology, Stored Product Entomology, and Medico-legal Entomology. The discipline is now widely accepted in judicial systems as providing valuable tools for investigating civil and criminal cases involving insects as evidence and as important resources of information. Coupled with the fascination by the public with forensic analyses forensic science programs are becoming popular choices following graduation by undergraduate students, and new programs are appearing at a rapid rate"-- |
