ISSUES IN FORENSIC MEASUREMENTS |
|---|
| Giovanni Battista Rossi, Francesco Crenna |
- Abstract:
- The role of measurement in forensic science is discussed, with focus on the impact of measurement uncertainty in forensic decision-making. The need of properly modelling the measurement process and the benefit of expressing results in probabilistic terms are pointed out. The interpretation of probabilistic statements in decision-making is also discussed and the use of scales of degree of certainty is suggested. The benefit of a multi- and interdisciplinary approach is outlined, as well as the need of future research in this area.
