If censors get involved in science (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forensics

'science' is the definition.
(I know that forensics is a type of science)

'if censors get involved' is the wordplay.
'get involved' is an anagram indicator.
'if'+'censors'='ifcensors'
'ifcensors' is an anagram of 'FORENSICS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for forensics that I've seen before include "If censors combined in medical studies for legal purposes" , "study of public debate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
