How a Systematic Process of Collecting and Presenting Evidence in Court Can Be Installed in the United States to Increase the Reliability of Forensic Science

Public project summary

“Forensic Science is the application of scientific principles and techniques to matters of criminal justice especially as relating to the collection, examination, and analysis of physical evidence” (Webster, 2018). Across the United States, forensic science plays a critical role in how criminal cases are both investigated and decided. One major issue is that there have been flaws in how evidence is collected and presented, causing some cases to have skewed evidence leading to false imprisonment. The problem I intend to tackle is how we can install a baseline protocol for how to collect and present evidence along with how we can filter out evidence that was poorly collected.
