PREFACE

This IISurvey of Educational Offerings in the Forensic Sciences ll was undertaken to assess the availability of education in the fore~sic sciences. As one of three reports comprising an "Assessment of the Forensic Sciences in American Criminal Justice ll specific courses in forensic science were compiled, resulting in the IIForensic Science Educational Roster,1I the Forensic Toxicology Educational Roster" and the "Forensic/Physical Anthropology Educational Rosterll--all of which are included in this report. The latter two rosters are more specific than is the basic forensic science roster in terms of courses offered in a specific area. Quite frankly these two rosters represent an experiment. The utility of the degree of specificity included in the toxicology and anthropology rosters is unknown.

The Survey did not attempt to directly poll community colleges, law enforcement academies, formal evidence technician programs, medical, dental or law schools. However, several programs or courses offered by the above are cited. A comprehensive roster of evidence technician programs is found in the Directory of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Education (I.A.C.P., Gaithersburg, Md.).

A roster of this type is only as complete and as accurate as its primary source material. If errors or omissions are noted, please complete and mail the form included as the last page of this report.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To Ina J. Curtis, who, with yeoman support from Ira Fleming, initiated the project by producing a college catalogue file-the backbone of the rosters.

Appreciation is expressed to the members of the Joint Advisory Committee, who, under the chairmanship of Dr. Oliver Schroeder, Jr., rendered invaluable support in the development of these listings. In particular, appreciation is expressed to Dr. Ellis R. Kerley for his guidance in the development of the "Forensic/Physical Anthropology Educational Roster" and to Dr. Irving Sunshine for his guidance in development of the "Forensic Toxicology Educational Roster. II Similarly, the cooperation of hundreds of forensic scientists in the acquisitiori of the names of specific course offerings is acknowledged.

Finally, thanks are extended to the staff who filed and refiled the data, compiled anq recompiled the lists, and typed and retyped the report: Ellen S. Fabricant, Deborah A. Heath, Mary G. Wilson.

SUMMARY

I PURPOSES:

A. To identify institutions and agencies offering educational courses and/or programs in the forensic sciences.

B. To evaluate the availability of the above.

I I FINDINGS

A. Comprehensive, degree oriented educational programs in the various disciplines of the forensic sciences are extremely rare.

B. Many of the courses offered are on an introductory or survey level, designed to give law enforcement students and officials an overview of the forensic sciences rather than to prepare individuals for entry into the field.

C. Advanced degree programs in Forensic/Analytical Toxicology are few.

D. Educational offerings in Physical Anthropology are sparse with education in Forensic Anthropology virtually nonexistent.

III RECOMMENDATIONS

A. A study should be made of the need for degreed programs in the forensic sciences.

B. Forensic science recruitment and counseling should be initiated at the college level.

C. Information regarding educational opportunities in the forensic sciences (Forensic Science Educational Roster) should be made available to law enforcement agencies, criminalistics laboratories, medical examiner/coroner offices, district attorney offices, bar associations, court systems, and professional societies concerned with the various disciplines of the forensic sciences.

CHAPTER I

GENERAL

Methodology

The project was initiated with a letter appeal for catalogues--addressed to all educational institutions participating in the Department of Justice, LEAA "Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP)II. In all, over 400 catalogues were received and assessed for their value in the development of forensic science educational rosters. The results were of limited value. The offerings were primarily directed

'at law enforcement personnel wherein any cited forensic science coverage was properly categorized as an orientation or survey course.

Accordingly, the 1300 members of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences were surveyed for any information they possessed relative to inst;tutions offering instruction in the forensic sciences (See Appendix A).

312 responses were received of which 300 provided either directly applicable or pursuable information.

In addition to the mailing of questionnaires, the following publications were consulted: The College Handbook (Educational Testing Services, Princeton, N.J.); The Com arative Guide to American Colle es and Universities (Cain and Birnbaum, Harper & Row, New York, N.Y. ; American Colle es and Universities, 11th Ed. (American Council on Education, Washington, D.C. ; Director of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Associations and Research Centers U.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, 1973); 1972-1973 Director of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Education International Association of Chiefs of Police, Gaithersburg, Md.); and the Directory of Approved Internships and Residencies, 1974-75 (American Medical Association, Chi cago, Ill.).

The Academy responses, together with the results produced through a survey of all catalogues available in the College Catalogue Collection of the Library of Congress, plus "leads" gathered from a myriad of sources were compiled according to subject, state, and institution-with appropriate cross references.

Letters requesting detailed information as to forensic science courses offered were then mailed to the institutions.

The rosters comprising this report are the product of the efforts noted above.

Survey Resul ts

The survey revealed a total of 231 s~parate institutions/agencies offering instruction in some aspect of the forensic sciences. Several institutions offer programs and/or courses in more than one of the forensic sciences disciplines.

A geographic breakdown of educational programs in the forensic sciences is provided on Map 1.

There is a strong correlation between those states with the highest number of educational offerings in the forensic sciences, particularly in criminalistics, and those states with state-wide criminalistic laboratory satellite systems.

Those states with highly developed criminalistics laboratory systems have provided for future manpower needs by working in conjunction with colleges and universities to offer educational programs to provide personnel to staff the crime labs.

The current emphasis in degreed forensic science programs is in the areas of criminalistics and in general forensic science. A breakout of the degreed programs by disciplines is found in Table 1.

As with degreed programs, the overwhelming concentration of courses was in criminalistics. A breakout of course offerings by disciplines is found in Table 2.

Not included in this survey were a significant number of Introductory General Forensic Sciences, Questioned Document, and Evidence Techniques courses found within Police Science/Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice curricula. The predominant number of these courses were designed to give law t:!nforcement officials peripheral exposure to the forensic sciences.

Where reference is made, under course listings, to Forensic/Analytical Toxicology or to Forensic/Physical Anthropology, please consult the specific rosters for each (chapters 3 and 4, respectively).

(4)

FINDINGS

• Comprehensive, degree oriented educational programs in the forensic science disciplines are extremely limited.

• Forensic Sciences personnel are very much dependent on on-thejob training, as opposed to formal education, to attain proficiency in their specialty.

• Many of the courses offered in the forensic sciences are on an introductory level and not particularly useful for one attempting to gain entry into the field.

(5 )

RE COMMEN DATI ONS

• A study should be made of the need for degreed programs in the forensic sciences.

• Forensic science recruitment and counseling should be initiated at the college level.

• Information regarding educational opportunities ;n the forensic sciences (Forensic Science Educational Roster) should be made available to law enforcement agencies, criminalistics laboratories, medical examiner/coroner offices, district attorney offices, bar associations, court systems and professional societies concerned with the various disciplines of the forensic sciences.

CHAPTER II I

ROSTER II--FORENSIC/ANALYTICAL TOXICOLOGY

This Ro~ter represents one of two experiments in the design of the rosters. Little is known as to the types of material needed or of the format that will provide the greatest convenience. This roster contains additional data concerning course offerings and their quarter/credit hours.

On November 21, 1974 a letter (see Appendix C) was sent to 92 professional schools offering training in toxicology. Replies were received from 47 schools, 26 of which purported to provide courses or advanced degrees in Forensic-Analytical Toxicology. These schools are included in Roster II.

Next, all respondents were queried more specifically about their program. (See Appendix D) Nineteen replies were received. Five of the 19 institutions indicated they had no currently active degree programs in Forensic/Analy.tical Toxicology. They are indicated on Roster II wi th an "*".

Of the 14 confirmed, currently active degree programs available in Forensic Toxicology, most of the programs involve a total of 1 to 3 student/trainees.

The seven institutions not responding to the follow up query are marked "**" on Roster II.

The Forensic Sciences Foundation is currently engaged in an assessment project of the forensic sciences profession sponsored by the Department of Justice. The project includes an assessment of individual backgrounds, education, and experience in the several facets of the forensic sciences. For purposes of this study, the following fields or disciplines are included in the study: Criminalistics (Crime Laboratories); Forensic Pathology/Biology (Coroners & t~edical Examiners); Forensic Psychiatry; Forensic f1edicine; Questioned Document Examination, Forensic Toxicology; Forensic' Odontology, andForensic Anthropology.

Specifically, for the report we are attempting to find out what forensic science courses are taught, and where, in order to publish a roster for prospective degreed program and continuing education students.

'We have been informed that your institution offers some instruction in this field. It would be greatly appreciated if you could furnish us \'/ith any de?criptive infonnation abou~ the courses offered, such as course listings, catalogs~ sylabus', etc.

A return envelope is included for you.r convenience.

Thank you for your reply to my letter of November 21,1974 -wherein you indicated that analytical toxicology was part of your overall program. A summary of that questionnaire is being compiled and will be sent to you shortly.

We anticipate that publicity about the availability of a roster on training opportunities in analytical toxicology will bring many requests for further information. If possible, we would 1 ike to refer these requests to a spedfic_incltvjdual _______ _ in your organization for information about your program. Will you provide us with the name, address, and telephone number of a person on your staff to whom such requests may be addressed? Please provide the information on the enclosed form-.

Additionally, it would ,be most helpful to us if you would indicate on the enclosed form, the number of students in analytical toxicology that you have graduated in the past five years and the num&er who have found employment in analytical toxicology. -

A stamped return envelope is included for your convenience.

Thank you for your contin&ed interest and support.

The Forensic Sciences Foundation is in the process of compiling a list of all the anthropologists who are active in; or teach courses in, forensic anthropology. These courses are often list~d as medico-legal anthropology or skeletal identification. In many cases, osteology laboratory courses cover much the sama material.

No accurate list of such specialists now exists, and it would be most helpful to various government and law enforcement agencies as \-lell as insurance companies to knm'l \'lhere the nearest specialist is locafed. It would be helpful also for the Forensic Sciences Foundation to be able to advise inquirers whe~e there are courses in this subject being taught.

Would you please answer,the few questions on the enclosed' sheet and return it, or turn it over to anyone on you~ faculty who might qualiry to answer .it? Your assistance would be deeply appreciated.
