The practices of forensic sciences and crime scene investigations in Korea are internationally acknowledged. Despite such world-wide recognition in the practices, academic research and education in the field of forensic sciences are known to be still at a rudimentary level, though. Particularly, when it comes to university-level educations, it is not easy to find university departments focused on forensic sciences or CSI, although there are numerous police sciences or police administration-related ones. Such disproportion between practices and academic education in the sphere seems to be a serious problem in Korea, noticeably given the future role expansion of forensic sciences in Korea. In contrast, the FEPAC(Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission) established by the AAFS(American Academy of Forensic Sciences) currently maintains and enhances academic quality through formal accreditation of college-level forensic science programs in the US. In other words, the essential role of the FEPAC is to develop and promote standards, and further to manage an accreditation program in the field of forensic sciences. Under these circumstances, the paper explores the AAPS and its FEPAC, and further derives two policy suggestions: establishment of technical working groups, and formation of a professional society dedicated to the development of forensic sciences.
