ABOUT THE PROJECT:
In order to facilitate the discipline of forensic science to better aid the criminal justice system, there needs to be regulations imposed to ensure that all professionals and laboratories involved in the process work according to the best standards, that all evidence is handled and analyzed in a manner that does not compromise its admissibility in court and that all expert opinions offered individually conform to uniformly accepted standards. This will not only increase the pertinence of forensics in court trials but will also help to prevent miscarriage of justice.
