CSI: Reform

My old friend Roger Koppl has an interesting article in Slate on reforming the system of forensic analysis and testimony. He and his coauthor argue for such measures a forensic counsel for the indigent; greater independence of experts from the prosecutorial team; more competition among labs; more statistical analysis to uncover anomalous findings; and the masking of evidence from analysts to reduce cognitive bias.

Roger has started something called the Institute for Forensic Science Administration. Check out his website for links to papers and others materials. (The website also declares that Roger’s Erdös number is 6. As Roger and I have written a couple of papers together, my Erdös number must be no greater than 7.)
