Improving the Practice and Use of Forensic Science

n Improving the Practice and Use of Forensic Science: A Policy Review (pdf), The Justice Project offers recommendations and solutions for improving the practices and standards of forensic science. The review includes information on current forensic practices, case studies, states that have enacted reforms in forensic analysis, and a model policy.

Without proper safety measures in place, the criminal justice system risks introducing bad forensic analysis into the courtroom and more wrongful convictions.
