Events

As part of the Physical Sciences Centre Forensic Science Special Interest Group, this one day event invites academics to meet and consider the current issues and developments involved in sexual assault, from crime scene to court.

Presentations will be given to demonstrate the many perspectives associated with this crime e.g: crime scene science, psychology and forensic science and forensic nursing as well as aspects of teaching in this sensitive area will be considered.

Practitioners such as SARC‛s, psychologists, Police, doctors, nurses will also be welcome to attend.

The forensic science SIG, organised by the Centre, involves people interested in the teaching, learning and research of forensic science. The SIG is an opportunity for people to share ideas, resources and experiences within the forensic science community. It is also a forum for like-minded people to support each other and offer advice on forensic science related matters. There are a number of organisations and other groups represented on the SIG, such as the Forensic Institute Research Network (FIRN) and the UK Forensic Science Education Group. Involvement in the SIG will help put you in touch with these organisations in order to keep up to date with all the latest developments in UK forensic science education and research. In addition, there is a range of regional and national events which are supported by, and advertised through the SIG.

*Staffordshire University has two campuses and the meeting will be held at the Stoke campus, opposite Stoke on Trent train station.
