Abstract

In this chapter, we explore the relationship between flawed forensic science, expert testimony, and miscarriages of justice. First, we take stock of how the legal community tends to view the forensic sciences. Then we review related empirical findings. Next, we discuss the National Academy of Sciences Report on the forensic science community—a watershed event in the history of forensic practice. Finally, we suggest the forensic reforms necessary to reveal and avert miscarriages of justice.
