Science of Crime: Forensic Investigation

Life After JET

Content Advisory Warning: In this episode, we talk about the work and experience relating to forensic investigation. If you're uncomfortable with talk about autopsies, etc, you might want to skip from the 20-min mark. Mention forensic investigation, and you'd be thinking of shows like CSI, Bones and Dexter. Our guest actually credits the X-Files for getting him into the field of forensic investigation, which is way cooler. We discuss the career path of the forensic investigator, in all sorts of fields, and how you shouldn't trust shows like CSI, Bones and Dexter. We also talk about the nature of police work in Japan, compared to that of the US, and also (at least for the US) how to get into the field.
