The Role of Medicine in Criminalistics
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Criminalistics is a comprehensive field of science that is closely interconnected with medicine. Although the areas of specialization and practices in this field may vary across different countries, its purpose, significance, and outcomes remain unchanged. The integration of criminalistics and medical sciences plays an important role in the detection and investigation of crimes. In criminalistics, medical knowledge is primarily manifested in the form of forensic medical examination. In the era of modern technology, the role of medicine is invaluable in analyzing biological evidence (blood, hair, saliva, DNA, and others), determining the causes and time of death, and identifying individuals.
