Forensic Science (FORS 2440), "LAB 40" provides an introduction to crimescene investigation and evidence gathering. Utilizing lecture/lab analyses, the methods, procedures, techniques, and preservation of crime scene evidence will be presented as students learn "hands on" the proper procedures of evidence gatheringand how scientific instrumentation upon gathered evidence has change the courtroom into medico-legal suites. Specific labs include trace analysis of hair and fiber, stain analysis, epithelial cell analysis, latent fingerprint analysis, DNA sequencing, and other basic lab analytical techniques. Additional forensic information will be obtained from guest speakers, documented cases, and investigations that have reached a dead end resulting in cold case files. In the process, students will have "hands on"experience in the basic operation of a busy forensic lab. 3 hours lecture & 3 hours lab Pre-requisites: Two labs from the following-BIOL 1406 and BIOL 1407, BIOL 2401 (A & P) and BIOL 2402 (A & P), or CHEM 1411. FORS 2440 need not be taken before FORS 2450.

4.00 Credits
Forensic Science (FORS 2450) or "LAB 50" is an advanced neuropsychologylecture/lab that focuses on the neuroanatomy of the brain, neurochemistry, psychopathologies and psychopathic characteristics evidenced in violent predatory psychopathy and antisocial violent criminality observed in rape, homicide, and serial homicide. Utilizing documented case studies, enhanced by lecture, discussion, guest speakers, audio-visuals, and a term project of crime scene analysis, LAB 50 will prepare students to understand neuropsych components of antisocial criminals and violent psychopathic predators. The first quarter of LAB 50 will focus on a detailed understanding of brain neuroanatomy, association cortices, neurotransmitter and hormonal chemistry. The second quarter focuses on continua of severity relative to psychopathy, pure psychopathologies, schizotypy, comorbidity, addiction, and dual diagnoses evidenced in violent offenders. The third quarter will focus on diagnostic criteria such as psychometrics, DSM criteria, crimes of psychosexual deviance, and brain-scanning images, primarily PET and fMRI scans. The final quarter addresses FBI criminal profiling and alternatives, and psychosocial influences upon violence and aggression-crowding, YAAVIST society, X, Y generational influences, and hardcore pornography. LAB 50 will conclude with a term project: a full psychological autopsy of a crime scene. 3 hours lecture & 3 hours lab Prerequisites: One biology lab, or a combination of Human A & P, chemistry, or biology for a total of 4 hours. FORS 2440 may be taken before LAB 50 (FORS 2450) or after it.
