Abstract
This report was developed with input from stakeholders in forensic science, including experts in the field and across the criminal justice community, and through a NIST-hosted workshop and literature review. This document provides a high-level perspective of the nation's forensic science challenges and the strategic research and development (R&D) and standards needed to address those challenges. The report is intended for use by both public- and private-sector stakeholders to inform decisions about R&D and standards that should be pursued to strengthen forensic science procedures and practices that support legal decision-making. This report (NIST Special Publication 1319) is available free of charge from https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1319.Citation
