The present review article discusses the advances in electrochemical sensing for applications in forensic science to solve criminal conspiracy and cases. The basic principle involved in electrochemical sensing has been discussed along with their technical features and limitations. Furthermore, the significance of electrochemical sensing in the analysis of forensic samples i.e heavy metals, drugs, illicit compounds, biological weapons with suitable illustrations have been presented. The advances in electrochemical sensors have so far documented tremendous findings to assist forensic experts in correlating crime incidents with documents with some drawbacks. This linkage between the success and failure of electrochemical sensing in forensic sciences has tried to establish in interest in the safety and security of a society.
