  • Careers: In Forensic Science

    A. L. Dawn French

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 16, 2016)
    Forensic science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. * Though targeted at the young people of Saint Lucia this book presents career guidance information that may be used by anyone - the young and the old (in search of that second career) as well as anyone living outside of the Caribbean Island. * Too many people do not know what career path to follow; or having decided on a career are not sure on how to achieve the goal. These books target all young people: those at Secondary (high) Schools as well as those in prison, at remedial school, or drop outs. A mistake in one’s youth should not be a deterrent to anyone achieving their career goals. * The intention, as with all these books is to provide information in an easy to absorb manner. * The series speaks to the reality of funding, encourages entrepreneurship and speaks frankly to the job opportunities that exist for the chosen career. * This is an excellent resource for the youth that is worth sharing! – World Bank
