This unique work of evidence scholarship details the development of
marketised forensic science provision in the UK. Exploring the
impact that public policy developments have had upon the sector, it
delves into the re-structuring of both the governance and delivery
of expert scientific evidence. Using first-hand accounts drawn from
empirical research, this study analyses the practices and
perspectives of forensic experts and criminal justice personnel,
with a particular focus on the influence of standardisation,
expertise, and regulation on scientific method. Expanding our
understanding of the ways in which forensic scientists have
responded to policy-driven structural changes, the author
highlights the effects of resulting adaptations. Challenging
subsisting accounts of law's deference to expert knowledge, this
work uncovers the normative and conceptual underpinnings of law and
science, to provide an innovative account of the practice of case
construction. Using comparative case-study methods, the study
highlights the need for a genuine theoretical engagement between
the two domains and supports this endeavour with a range of
empirically informed discussions, and detailed theoretical
analyses. Revisiting the landmark cases, relevant legislative
provisions, and government reports, the study offers a trenchant
analysis of law's mutable understandings of expertise and
scientific method. Marketisation and Forensic Science Provision in
England and Wales thus lays the foundations for a more rational and
systematic approach to the consumption of expert evidence.
