WHY FORENSIC SCIENCE IS IN CRISIS AND HOW WE CAN FIX IT.
World Economic Forum Agenda
12th September 2019
Forensic science needs to establish a holistic vision that ensures meaningful connectivity between the investigation and the courts. There needs to be strategic oversight to set priorities for current operational approaches, to establish sustainable markets for the provision of forensic science services, and set the agenda for research to underpin each part of the forensic science process (crime scene to court). This will need to be a collective corporate strategy that provides a voice for all the key stakeholders.
