Semester Second Semester
Course Description Technical issues have been playing a relevant role in forensic practice and represent an important aid to those who administer Justice. The typical engineering methods represent a large part of the forensic sciences and the role of technical experts has steadily gained importance in the last decades. Justice has always sought for certain means to assess the factual truth, in order to render fair verdicts. Science and techniques appear, to the investigators and triers of facts, as the optimal tools to provide a certain representation of facts, based on scientific and irrefutable data. Unfortunately, science and technique have their own limitations and they can only provide limited information on the events they model. This means that every decision taken on the basis of a scientific judgment of facts has an intrinsic risk of being not fully correct. It is then important, from both the technical and ethical points of view, that the technical experts consider this limitation, quantify its effect on the presented data and quantify and explain the risk of wrong decision to the trier of facts. Forensic metrology is the branch of forensic science capable of providing a pondered answer to these issues not hiding the important, implicit limits of every technical assessment of the facts to the triers of facts, thus avoiding ethical and penal implications.
