This open-access journal began in 1999 and is published by FBI Laboratory This small-format journal is chock-full of a wide variety of readable articles personnel, and articles are keyword-indexed on a general government search intended to "advance the knowledge of forensic science and medicine," per its engine. The articles cover subjects that revolve around the criminological home page. Articles explore the interactions between society and medicine, aspects of forensic science, with a difficulty level suited to high school while case studies focus on specific deaths or types of death, and medical audiences and up; but they are a bit dry and technical. techniques or devices.
