N2  - Observations of modern day forensic science has prompted asking the question of whether this field is in danger of extinction.

This article addresses three main areas of concern: the declining role of the generalist in an era of increased specialization, the role of education in preparing the next generation of forensic scientists, and the implementation of advanced instrumentation with a focus on statistical significance and field deployable instrumentation.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences.
