Forensic science has been around for many centuries. With each decade that passes, forensics techniques used to identify perpetrators of crime become ever more sophisticated. This has also been reflected in the number of crime dramas on television and film that use forensics as an anchor for the rest of the story.
I spoke to Jo Ward, who is a crime scene investigator, whose work in the field has been shown in the BBC series Forensics: The Real CSI. She has written a new book about her experiences titled Every Contact Leaves a Trace: My Life as a Crime Scene Investigator.
We discussed how she entered the world of forensics, the PTSD she had to deal with and how forensic techniques and the profession as a whole have changed since she entered it.
