About The Centre for Forensic Science (CFS)

The Centre for Forensic Science (CFS) is an academic and research-driven initiative dedicated to exploring the intersection of forensic science and law. It aims to bridge the gap between forensic methodologies and legal practice by equipping law students with the skills to critically analyse forensic evidence. The Centre conducts workshops, training sessions, and guest lectures featuring forensic experts to provide hands-on exposure to techniques such as crime scene analysis, fingerprint examination, toxicology, and digital forensics. 

About the International Conference

The fast advancement of science and technology in the current era has had a profound impact on all facets of existence. In the contemporary world, crime and criminology are no longer regarded as distinct domains, but rather as interconnected with various other sciences. Politics Science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, and other multidisciplinary subjects are included in this list.

A crucial advancement in crime prevention has been the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach in the field of criminal justice administration. This development is noteworthy, as criminology seeks to prevent crime in society rather than only understanding criminal behaviours in theory. In a dynamic environment, criminology, law, and forensic science serve as fundamental components of the contemporary criminal justice system.
