TRUTH: Forensic Science entertainment is decades ahead of Forensic Science education. Many people feel that if they watch a few shows that talk about Forensic Science analysis on television or watch a popular movie that has Forensic Science as the major theme they understand everything there is to know about Forensic Science and there analyses. Some of these television shows and movies do a great job of giving its viewers the correct terminology that is used in Forensic Science, but they do a poor job of explaining what this terminology means and how to interpret what the results mean. Contrary to popular belief, it takes more time than 45 minutes plus commercials to work a murder case. The Forensic Science Analysts have to be well educated and properly trained to perform the necessary technical procedures that are needed to find the results on these difficult criminal cases. Even when these analysts are well educated and trained how to perform the proper techniques, it could still take them a week, a month, or even years before they can find the physical evidence that will help solve the criminal case.

What makes the situation worse is the fact that sometimes educational institutions will give potential Forensic Science students information about developing careers in Forensic Science that is not correct or is not explained thoroughly that lead these students to interpret the information incorrectly and leave them frustrated after they finish the courses.

The need for well trained individuals to work in the field of Forensic Science has never been greater. With Forensic Crime Laboratories’ backlog of cases growing every day, it is almost impossible to work all of the criminal cases that need to be analyzed. Unfortunately, criminals are not helping out in the cause of catching up the backlog of cases. Most of them never take a vacation from their criminal activities creating more cases to add to the number of cases already in the backlog. So what needs to be done to bridge this growing gap between the qualified analysts and the backlog of cases? More proper Forensic Science education is needed.
