Behavioural Science in Forensics: A Perspective - Abstract
Forensic sciences and behavioural psychology are two separate entities and branches as is known by all till date who have been working differently and
independently in their respective fields. But, in the present era forensic investigators are understanding and are realising the fact that Behaviour Evidence
Analysis (BEA), which involves psychological deduction and reasoning is crucial to answer the questions as to “why” and “how” the offender has performed the
crime in order to simulate the sequence the events to the nearest probable truth thereby leading to good evidence collection and providing justice to the victim.
Thus, this present perspective aims to colliquate how the forensics abide and how the psychologists can be of paramount help in crime solving, by “visually
sensing through the eyes of the criminal itself”. This can be useful for not only the forensic medicine specialists, but also for the forensic odontologists too, which
is also an emerging field in forensic science.
