Forensic Entomology 101 is an engaging introductory course designed to provide learners with a foundational understanding of how insects contribute to forensic investigations. This course is ideal for students, law enforcement professionals, and forensic enthusiasts who want to explore the crucial role of entomology in solving crimes.

Spanning ten in-depth video lessons, the course begins with an overview of forensic entomology, introducing learners to the types of insects commonly found at crime scenes and their significance in investigations. Key topics include how insects help estimate time of death, the collection and preservation of insect evidence, and the analysis of insect development stages to determine post-mortem intervals.

Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and location play a crucial role in insect growth, and the course explores how these elements affect forensic findings. Learners will also discover how insects can reveal whether a body has been moved from its original location, aiding in crime reconstruction.

A dedicated module examines the use of forensic entomology in court, covering legal considerations, expert testimony, and real-world case studies that demonstrate the field’s impact on criminal investigations. Finally, the course delves into the latest advancements in forensic entomology research, offering insights into cutting-edge techniques shaping the future of this discipline.

 

By the end of this course, participants will have a well-rounded understanding of forensic entomology, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to analyze insect evidence in forensic contexts.
