Abstract

This research article delves into the indispensable role of toxicology in the administration of criminal justice systems worldwide. Toxicology, the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms, plays a pivotal role in criminal investigations, particularly in cases involving poisoning, drug related offenses, and suspected impairment due to substances. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of how toxicological analyses aid law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, defense, and courts in determining the presence of toxic substances, establishing cause of death, assessing impairment levels, and ultimately, delivering justice. Through a detailed examination of case studies and legal precedents, this article highlights the significance of toxicology in ensuring fair and accurate adjudication, emphasizing the need for rigorous standards, reliable methodologies, and expert testimony in the judicial process. By elucidating the multifaceted role of toxicology in the criminal justice system, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of its impact on legal proceedings and societal perceptions of justice.
