FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin,The,  Dec, 2007  

Addressing Shortfalls in Forensic Science Education, a fact sheet presented by the National Institute of Justice, describes the benefits of an accredited forensic science education program. Many crime labs find that new graduates from these programs are not properly trained. A committee led by the American Academy of Forensic Science has developed an evaluation and accreditation process to help universities improve their curriculum.

An accredited curriculum gives employers, such as crime lab directors, standard criteria to assess whether an applicant is qualified. This report is available at http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffilesl/nij/216886.pdf or by contacting the National Criminal Justice Reference Service at 800-851-3420 or http://www.ncjrs.gov.
