Scientific publication in forensic sciences to strengthen the application of justice

Abstract

Traditionally, forensic evidence is considered a cornerstone in investigations to establish the facts and support civil or criminal litigation. In some cases, and depending on the jurisdiction, it has been considered infallible. Under the premise of science, the interpretations and conclusions of forensic experts are often accepted as equivalent to a fact, and the courts trust them and incorporate them as predominant elements to make objective decisions in their search for justice.
