About this ebook
Crime Lab Oversight examines the state of forensic laboratory regulation in the U.S. criminal justice system. It highlights how inconsistent application of certification, audits, and peer review can affect the admissibility of scientific evidence. It reveals that while forensic science plays a crucial role in convictions, the current patchwork of standards may compromise testing integrity. A key insight is that a lack of mandatory accreditation can lead to unjust outcomes, emphasizing the need for national oversight.
The book systematically progresses from introducing core forensic science concepts and the legal framework to examining the roles of certification and accreditation bodies. Specific case studies illustrate the impact of differing regulatory standards. By combining legal, scientific, and policy-based analysis, this book provides a unique, comprehensive assessment of forensic oversight.
It proposes concrete solutions and policy recommendations, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, legal professionals, and anyone interested in true crime or criminal justice reform.
