LibGuides: Forensic Science & Law: Biology

Forensic biology is the study of organisms and their remains, such as blood, hair, plants, and bodies, for criminal investigations. Subtopics include serology, toxicology, entomology, and genetics.

Forensic biology is very closely linked to forensic chemistry and therefore shares many of the same fields of study.
