Web based resources for forensic science

Abstract

The aim of this work was to produce four web-based problem-solving activities in the areas of arson, drug smuggling, poisoning and horse doping. Much of the work was carried out by four MChem students as part of their final year projects. As these were students on chemistry programmes, the content was based within chemical analysis aspects of forensic science, with additional coverage of related areas such as, for example, fingerprinting, forensic psychology etc.
