Forensic science (often shortened to forensics) is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system.
This may be in relation to a crime or to a civil action.
The use of the term "forensics" in place of "forensic science" could be considered incorrect; the term "forensic" is effectively a synonym for "legal" or "related to courts.".
