It has a co-extensive relationship with law enforcement, with numerous interfaces and mutual interactions throughout their history. Forensic science is framed by criminalistics, but they are not identical.Value: The paper presents the complex relationship between forensic science and criminalistics, attempts to define forensic science, and discusses the Sydney Declaration and its significance.
