At the UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences, we are exploring the ways that uncertainty in forensic science can be understood, evaluated and communicated within the justice system with the aim of developing approaches that can contribute to the transparency of science evidence in court.
We would really like to hear from forensic scientists, particularly your thoughts, opinions and accounts of personal experience with uncertainty with science evidence. If you would be willing to take 10-15 minutes, you can access our survey at https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=66133. If you are interested in knowing more or would potentially be willing to participate in a follow up focus group (2 hours commitment) please let us know over email at nicola.georgiou.16@ucl.ac.uk and we would be delighted to be in touch.
We are extremely grateful for your input to this research.
