    Criminalists use forensic science to analyze physical evidence and reconstruct crime scenes. They collect evidence, examine it, and sometimes provide expert testimony in court. Education requirements vary but generally include a bachelor's degree in a science field like criminalistics, chemistry, biology or physics. Some labs require a master's degree. Salaries range from $2,500-$7,000 depending on level, with state-level criminalists earning higher salaries on average than those at the county level. Training involves chemistry and quantitative analysis coursework, with accreditation and continuing education to stay updated on techniques.
