Abstract

Forensic science is the use of science and technology to enforce civil and criminal laws. It is the use of scientific methods to examine evidence or investigate crimes. Forensic scientist have become interested in the detection and interpretation of OGSR due to the increasing use of lead and heavy metal-free ammunition. Mass spectroscopy is the technique that is used by the forensic scientist for resolving the crime. This has also been prompted by the identification of gunshot residue like particles in environment and occupational samples.

Keywords: Forensic, crime, gunshot residue, legal evidence.
