The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee will publish its report – Forensic science and the criminal justice system: a blueprint for change at 00:01 on Wednesday 1st May.
Forensic science is a complex discipline that interacts with a range of fields, including science, policing, government and law. There are clear, deep-rooted challenges that have been identified but not addressed.
The Committee’s report examines these challenges as well as the scientific evidence base for different techniques and the regulatory framework which underpins standards in the sector. The report also considers the instability of the forensic science market and research.
