How would say Deontology and forensic science would apply to each other.Deontology: a person performs his or her duties, the action is considered...

Deontology is a branch of philosophy and ethics that is
concerned with the concepts of duty and the moral obligations that most people have. The
forensic scientist is charged with maintaining a high degree of integrity because of the
nature of his/her work.


Forensics attempt to uncover the
truth about a situation. The evidence examined must be kept in a pristine state and the
forensic scientist must follow accepted scientific guidelines while undergoing his
investigation.


Sometimes it would be quite easy to make the
evidence fit the crime. People who work for police agencies want to catch the offender
and then see the offender prosecuted. However, personal bias and preconceived notions
have no place in the scientific study of evidence. This is why forensics must take a
deontological approach to the investigation of crime.
