CSI Miami, CSI New York, Cracker… just some of the hugely popular crime drama series on television that have made people develop a keen interest in that most fascinating of subjects: forensic science.

The word ‘forensic’ comes from the Latin word forensis which simply means ‘public’ or ‘from the forum’.
