PLEASANTVILLE – Blood spatter analysis, footprint and bite mark impressions, drug testing, hair and fiber analysis and fingerprinting are just some of the topics explored in an elective course being offered at Pleasantville High School, now in its second year.
Taught by Darlyne de Haan, a former state forensic scientist, the course is aimed at providing students with an introduction into forensic science as a career track. “This is a huge, growing field,” de Haan said. “It’s a comprehensive science. There are all sorts of options besides traditional law enforcement: psychology for profiling, statistics and forensic accounting.”
