Rebecca Turley
Writer, Editor & Fact-Checker · CrimeSceneInvestigatorEDU.org
Rebecca is a full-time writer and editor with a BA in Journalism and Communications. Her career highlights include ghostwriting several published books, editing for a national book publishing company, and writing for many high-profile websites and blogs aimed at the education, healthcare, and social sciences fields. She’s part of our network’s editorial team and fact-checks CrimeSceneInvestigatorEDU.org articles before they’re published.
What Rebecca Does Here
Before an article on CrimeSceneInvestigatorEDU.org is published or updated, Rebecca checks it against the sources it relies on. That includes every statistic, every certification or degree requirement, every program detail, and every date.
She checks certification requirements against the International Association for Identification (IAI) and the American Board of Criminalistics, program accreditation against FEPAC, and salary figures against U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. When something doesn’t match its source, it’s corrected before the article goes live.
Rebecca isn’t a forensic scientist or crime scene investigator. Her job is verification: making sure what each article says matches the official sources behind it. Articles she has fact-checked show her name under the byline.
How We Check Our Work
Fact-checking on this site is done by people on our editorial team, never by an AI tool. Our editorial standards explain where our facts come from, how we use AI, and how we handle corrections, and you can meet the rest of the people behind the site on our About page.
If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, use the corrections contact on our editorial standards page and tell us the page and what needs fixing.
