Professionals in forensic sciences are also consulted for any issue where the people involved could be cutting corners or performing illegal activities.

Forensic Science is broadly classified into three groups: Medical Science, Laboratory Science and Field Science.

Medical Data Science includes forensic pathology, psychiatry, psychology, forensic medicine and ontology.
