Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science: A Practical Guide

by Suzanne Bell (Author)

Measurement is a fundamental basis for forensic analysis and the platform on which many forensic experts base their scientific opinions. This book examines the limits of the scientific process to help determine, for various forms of evidence, tests, and analysis, the accuracy level and the parameters in which certain results fall. It also helps forensic scientists, students, and lab professionals―both directors and analysts―develop methods and practices to measure and report the required level of uncertainty for quantitative measurements.
