Like criminal justice and criminology, forensic science offers a wide array of specializations so that there's a place for almost anyone. Besides the most commonly associated job of the crime scene investigator, nearly every scientific discipline has a forensics component.

Properly qualified and educated job seekers can explore entomology, psychology, anthropology, ballistics, biology and more, with practical applications in jobs such as bloodstain pattern experts. There's also a place for the technologically inclined through computer and digital forensics, and for the detail-oriented individual through handwriting analysis.
