Lamond wrote this article in 2008 when the forensic science testimony was needed to prove the innocents. And Lamond wrote this article to educate forensic science lovers that the things that they see on the television is not real. The author of this article used special Lexis that only the forensic science students, and people interested in that field can understand the overall meaning that is being applied. The author used the DNA sample as an example to show the differences between the time periods it takes in reality to perform the test, and the time period it is shown in the television. In show the DNA analyzes takes 48 hours, but in reality it takes one to two or more weeks for the result to come.

As this article state, the Forensic Science Assessment test is developed for the graducate or undergraduate Forensic Science program students. This community was developed to help the students get a job by using this test as an resource to see that person overall knowledge in Forensic Science field. This test is used as an improtant weapon to choose the best student from all the academic
