fA study of Biological trace evidence in forensic science

Trace, EvidenceAbstract
The foundation of all forensic science as we know it today, Locard's concept of exchange, is the key to the existence of trace evidence. It is difficult for a criminal to act, particularly given the severity of a crime, without leaving signs of this presence, according to Sir Edmond Locard. In other words, Locard held the view that there is always a transfer of material across the contact boundaries whenever two things come into touch with one another. Paul Kirk further clarified that no criminal can commit a crime without either leaving behind or removing evidence. The person may leave behind or take up tiny waste such as pollens, plant material, dirt, or dust upon interaction with the environment or another person. As a result, it is almost difficult to interact with the environment without leaving some kind of trace.
