    Forensic Science-Criminalistics is the application of various sciences to answer questions relating to examination and comparison of biological evidence, trace evidence, impression evidence (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, and tire tracks), controlled substances, firearms, and other evidence in criminal investigations. Typically, evidence is processed in a crime lab. This is the division of forensic science most often reported in the media and depicted in popular fiction.
    Forensic Psychology is one of the other forensic science disciplines there are many more.

    Forensic psychology and forensic psychiatry deal with the legal aspects of human behavior.

    Forensic science is the actual area of study and all else is an extentsion of it.
