My name is Catherine Dimitroff and I am a Criminal Justice major. My career goal is to work for a local law enforcement agency as either an officer or in a support function. That’s the realistic version at least. In my more “enthusiastic” career goal I believe I have the title “detective” and “homicide investigations” somewhere in the job description. No matter which goal I ultimately choose to pursue, or rather manage to fulfill I believe a greater understanding of forensic sciences and their place in the field of criminal investigations will be invaluable. I look forward to gaining a greater purview of this fascinating field. According to Evgeny Katz the forensic sciences are “vital tools” in the process of applying science to legal problems.
