چکیده
This paper aims at describing the ways in which uncertainty is (or not) measured field of forensic science and how measure can be used to make better judicial decisions. From traditional fingerprint comparison latest advances DNA analysis, we discuss advantages drawbacks various reporting results. We point past current controversies, analyze what remains done ensure that probative value evidence communicated fact finders a way scientifically robust, balanced transparent, allow them coherent

متن کاملDNA Profiling in Forensic Science
The discovery of hypervariable minisatellite deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by Jeffreys and co-workers in 1985 provided forensic scientists with a means of discriminating between individuals that was many orders of magnitude greater than the traditional methods used before that date. Probably themost important forensic application of DNA profiling is in the identification of rapists. The original ...
متن کاملRecent microtechniques in forensic science.
Forensie science is synthetic, depending on all the other sciences for development of its basic techniques, and it is original chiefly in that it adapts the techniques of other sciences to its unique and specialized uses. One of its major branches, criminalistics, does have a special aim which is not the same as that of other applied sciences, namely the individualization of a sample of evidenc...
متن کاملMICROSCOPES IN FORENSIC SCIENCE Introduction
Introduction The applications of microscopy in the forensic sciences are almost limitless. This is due in large measure to the ability of microscopes to detect, resolve and image the smallest items of evidence, often without alteration or destruction. As a result, microscopes have become nearly indispensable in all forensic disciplines involving the natural sciences. Thus, a firearms examiner c...
