In the courtroom, critical and life-changing decisions are made
based on quantitative forensic science data. There is often a range
in which a measured value is expected to fall and, in this, an
inherent uncertainty associated with such measurement. Uncertainty
in this context is not error. In fact, estimations of uncertainty
can add to the utility and reliability of quantitative results, be
it the length of a firearm barrel, the weight of a drug sample, or
the concentration of ethanol in blood. Measurement Uncertainty in
Forensic Science: A Practical Guide describes and defines the
concepts related to such uncertainty in the forensic context. The
book provides the necessary conceptual background and framework-a
baseline-for developing and deploying reasonable and defensible
uncertainty estimations across forensic disciplines. Information is
presented conceptually, using easily understood examples, to
provide a readable, handy reference for scientists in the
laboratory, as well as investigators and legal professionals who
require a basic understanding of the science underpinning
measurement results.
