Abstract

This article delves into the growing significance of forensic science within criminal investigations and court proceedings, focusing on the pivotal role of forensic chemistry. Forensic chemistry, a sub-discipline of forensic science, is critical in examining physical evidence, encompassing substances like drugs, explosives, and toxic compounds. However, despite the escalating demand for forensic chemists in the job market, the public's awareness and knowledge of forensic chemistry, including university students, remains inadequately explored. Through a questionnaire study, this article presents the results that elucidate the extent of awareness and knowledge regarding forensic chemistry among university students. Additionally, this research examines the attitudes and perceptions of university students towards forensic chemistry education and career opportunities. The implications derived from the findings of this study are profound and have far-reaching consequences, specifically concerning forensic chemistry education, career development, and the enhancement of public comprehension surrounding forensic science.

Abstract

Forensic science plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system by providing essential evidence and aiding the resolution of crimes. One significant aspect of forensic science is functionalizing pharmacology, which involves the analysis of drugs and their metabolites in biological samples to ascertain their origins and potential effects. It is imperative for future healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacy students, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functionalization of pharmacology in forensic science. However, there is a paucity of research on pharmacy students' current knowledge and comprehension in this specific domain. Hence, the present study aimed to utilize a questionnaire-based approach to explore pharmacy students' understanding of functionalizing pharmacology in forensic science. The primary objective of this investigation was to identify strengths and weaknesses within this cohort's knowledge base, ultimately offering recommendations for enhancing pharmacy education in this field.
