The new 'CSI-style' simulator at the The University of Glamorgan was opened/named after Sir Bernard Knight, a crime novelist and a forensic scientist for some notorious murder scenes.

The simulator is built like a normal house that will host a range of reconstructed suspicious or unexplained crime scenes. This will allow students to gain a better understanding and experience in investigating such cases.

Knight stated that we all tend to act like experts on forensic science because of the CSI phenomenon, resulting in the jurors expecting "more categorical proof than science will allow for, and criminals are better prepared than ever before." therefore, by opening a training simulator the high level of crime investigation needed can be increased through education.

"Sir Bernard said that Wales could lead the way in training the next generation of Scene of Crime Officers."
