Although they perform a vital service, police dogs aren’t the only creatures to keep track of at crime scenes—wild animals can play a role, too. This program studies the usefulness of canines and the often confusing influence of scavengers as it documents coursework at the University of Central Lancashire’s Forensic Science department. In addition to portraying the police skills of man’s best friend and the difficulty of locating victims’ remains in a forest environment, the program also looks at preparations for a mock trial. Students in the Forensic Law module must organize and present findings as if they are expert witnesses delivering scientific testimony for the prosecution. Viewer discretion is advised. (23 minutes)
