The Real CSI Information about Forensics

forensics investigator jobs

What is the difference between these two criminal jobs ?

What’s the difference between Criminalistics (forensic scientist) and a crime scene investigator ? Do Criminalistics just work in the lab without going to the actual scene ? Also, what’s the best courses to take in university for either one of these ?

Ive never heard of a “Criminalistic” before. A Forensic Scientist works in the Lab. S/He Analysis the evidence. The Scene Of Crime Officer (SOCO) go to the Crime Scene and collect the evidence. If you want to be either you should study Forensic Science like I am. You should really like it. Its hard but do-able and its really interesting.
