  • It is difficult to describe any single model that applies to modern forensic science laboratories (also known as forensic labs and crime labs), because their sizes, sophistication, and capabilities differ widely between regions and jurisdictions. The majority function within federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime; Forensic Science: Laboratories]
