Abstract:
|
This presentation discusses techniques for criminal investigation or intelligence gathering that rest on statistical inferences or raise statistical issues. Examples include DNA databases and "familial searching," DNA samples and "racial profiling," speaker identification from voice spectrographs, fingerprint identification (automated and otherwise), and the polygraph as a lie detector. It also describes the legal standards and case law on using scientific and statistical evidence obtained with these techniques as proof in criminal cases in the United States.
