Forensic science, forensic computing, forensic art, forensic accounting, forensic psy-chology. Forensic is the buzzword of the twenty-first century. It seems like there is forensic everything. More than 150 colleges and universities in the United States and more than 300 in the United Kingdom now offer some type of forensic sci-ence degree program.
Andrew Rennison, a Commissioner at the Criminal Cases Review Commission and former Forensic Science Regulator, told us that in 2008, "there was probably £120 million being spent on forensic science. That is now down to about £50 million or £55 million".49 The total police budget for 2018/19 was £12.3 billion.50.
In the year 2005, more than 0.5 million cases were pending for examination in the Forensic Science Laboratories in India. The present situation of pending cases in 2021 is also no better, the estimated pendency of the cases in Forensic Science Laboratories in India ranges from 0.7 to 0.8 million cases.
