Forensic Science in Doubt in Florida Federal and State Courts

The National Research Council (NRC) reviewed forensic practices in this country and concluded industry standards are in need of serious upgrading. The results of this study are published in: Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward. The report found: a lack of mandatory and enforceable standards based on research and testimony; unacceptable backlogs in local and state laboratories; lack of ties to research universities; and lack of central governance to correct weaknesses in the field.

NRC recommended changes:

* Stronger leadership to strengthen forensic science through an independent National Institute of Forensic Science;

* Certification for forensic science professionals and accreditation for laboratories;

* Results which indicate the level of uncertainty in the measurements of DNA analysis;

* Court testimony grounded in science which acknowledge uncertainties; etc.
