All General Forensic Sciences

The American Academy of Forensic Sciences General section, its multidisciplinary catch-all for forensic specialties that support investigation and prosecution without fitting one of the Academy's natural-science or medical sections, represented here by Forensic Accounting, the tracing and reconstruction of financial records to detect fraud, embezzlement and money laundering for legal use. Belongs here: forensic specialties whose method is not physical, biological, digital or documentary examination in the sense the other subcategories define, but investigative and analytical support of a different kind. Does not belong here: any discipline better described by one of the more specific subcategories in this tree.
