| description | Problem: False accusations and wrongful convictions are
victimizations by the investigatory and criminal justice system
Remedy: Resorting to scientific observations of crime scenes

science practice and 'crime reconstruction' is the responsibility
of the forensic investigator, a forensic science generalist
Ill) To recommend the following remedial measures
a) rejuvenating 'forensic science generalists'
b) inclusion of forensic science crime scene
management- as part of the law curriculum |
