The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to forensic science: Forensic science – application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to a legal system. This may be in matters relating to criminal law, civil law and regulatory laws. it may also relate to non-litigious matters. The term is often shortened to forensics. == Nature of forensic science == General forensics topics include: * Crime – breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction. * Crime scene – location where an illegal act took place, and comprises the area from which most of the physical evidence is retrieved by trained law enforcement personnel, crime scene investigators (CSIs) or in rare circumstances, forensic scientists. * Mortuary investigations * laboratory examinations * CSI effect – phenomenon of popular television shows such as the ''CSI'' franchise raising the public's expectations of forensic science,〔N. J. Schweitzer and Michael J. Saks (The ''CSI'' Effect: Popular Fiction About Forensic Science Affects Public Expectations About Real Forensic Science. ) (''Jurimetrics'' ), Spring 2007〕 stemming from the "dramatic license" taken by the shows' writers in which they exaggerate the abilities of forensic science,〔Justis, Gregory G. (2006). Images of Legitimacy: Presentation of Forensics Programming in Contemporary News Publications. Michigan State University〕〔Simon Cole and Rachel Dioso-Villa (CSI and its Effects: Media, Juries and the Burden of Proof ) New England Law Review, Vol. 41, No. 3, 2007.〕 and this is of particular concern in the courtroom setting, where many prosecutors feel pressured to deliver more forensic evidence.〔Donald E.
