Abstract
Crime is as old as civilization itself. The clear aim was to recognize the people who do not go behind the lay down norms, penalize them and isolate them from the mainstream and therefore keep the society clean. This gave birth to the processes of discovery and investigation of crime and administration of criminal justice, which in order, led to the establishment of institution for investigation, trial and for imparting impartiality. The dependence on ‘eyewitnesses’ did not prove to be effective, as they were found to turn hostile, many a time due to threat to life or temptation of money. The crime investigators then resorted to ‘third degree methods’ for the examination of the suspect to reveal the truth which due to the cultural change and values accepted generally, were considered cruel, as many innocent people also suffered and sometimes inadvertently. In the meantime, a lot of scientific research and development took place, and it was then visualized that the modern scientific techniques could provide quick solution to a majority of problem of human being and therefore, crime investigation of ‘forensic science’ got evolved.
