The development of chemistry begins since the days of Alchemy is the 5th century BC which began in Alexandria, Egypt and developed into China. The chemistry that developed at that time was called alchemy. At that time Alexandrian alchemists tried to turn stones into gold. The development of alchemy in China produces useful gunpowder to this day as a tool of war and fireworks. From Alexandria, Egyptian alchemy flourished to Europe and in Europe this alchemy developed rapidly into the science of modern chemistry.
Importance of General Chemistry to Criminology
Modern chemistry is growing rapidly because it is driven by the development of other sciences, such as physics that creates advanced theories as well as sophisticated tools, mathematics which is a tool for all the sciences, as well as advanced biology. The development of chemistry other than encouraged by the development of other sciences, also resulted in other science is helped thanks to the discovery of chemists.
For example, the liquid crystals found by chemical scientists are used by physicists to make calculator screens and computer screens known as LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display). The discovery of the mechanisms of replication and the structure of DNA leads biologists to develop molecular biology that is applied to genetic engineering (Genetics Engineering).
The role of chemistry is not only in pure sciences, but also in applied science. For example, computers, medicine, agriculture and even in the field of social science.

The field of law directly does not have anything to do with chemistry, but the benefits of chemistry in this field of law can be felt when the application of the criminal proof of crime (criminology)
- Examining the body part of the suspect
The body part of the suspect can be examined by examining its DNA structure, because each person’s DNA structure is different, and this examination involves chemistry.
- Fingerprint check
For example, fingerprint checks use the principle of Atomic Absorption Septroscopy in chemistry because the fingerprinting element of each human being is different “(always there are special features of each fingerprint) then the difference can be detected with this tool.
- Checking the evidence
If there is a criminal case for murder then the evidence of everything on the scene will be checked with chemicals so that the case can be solved.
In chemical analysis then can know for example the content of chemicals in a product or anything. (Read Harmful Chemicals in the Environment)
- Do visum et repertum (Chemical forensics)
Visum Et Repertum as a written report of a physician made on the basis of the oath of office in relation to the proceedings of his trial of power with the problem of proof. One of the many efforts and means performed by doctors, experts or medical doctors of the judiciary (forensics) in helping to clear a criminal case from one the aspect is
Visum Et repertum known in the fields of forensic medicine, forensic psychiatry / neurology and forensic chemistry.
Visum Et Repertum as one aspect of the role of the expert and / or is one aspect of the expert’s statement, the interrelation between the two can not be separated.
The expert’s information contained in an inspection report is the manifestation of the results made on the basis of science and engineering and the best knowledge and experience of the expert. (Read Jobs in Pharmacology) That’s the importance of general chemistry to criminology.
5. Do forensic identification
An unwitting criminal will surely leave something (the trail), so that when the police are called to the scene of serious incident, the scene of the case (TKP) immediately sealed off with a yellow police band tape to prevent the pollution of evidence. Forensic experts should hurry to the scene before important evidence which may help uncover lost / tampered events.
Forensic evidence which are found to be sampled for inspection in the laboratory for the sake of get complementary and supporting data. One of the important checks and the result can be obtained quickly is a DNA test. DNA fingerprint testing in forensic cases is primarily done for the purpose of identifying the victim even though it is now a test DNA scans can also be done to track the offender.
Tracking of forensic identity will be done by matching between the DNA the victim with an unexpected family of the victim. Almost all biological samples of the body can be used to sample the test of crystalline DNA, but which is often used is blood, hair, mouth rub on the inside cheek (buccal swab), and nails. For the case case forensic, sperm, meat, bone, skin, saliva or any biological samples found at the scene of the case (TKP) can be sampled DNA test (Lutfig and Richey, 2000).
