司法科学的进展并非作为一个传统的学科,而是以执法需求为导向的服务。因此,从指纹分析到毛发纤维比对这些绝大多数的日常刑侦手段并未受到传统学术研究的影响及审查。《自然》杂志审视了学术界和法医实验室之间的差距,探讨两个领域的合作方法,以期科学在法庭上能扎下更坚实的基础。 The progress of judicial science is not a traditional discipline but a service that is directed at law enforcement needs. Therefore, the daily criminal investigation methods from fingerprinting to hair fiber matching are not influenced and reviewed by traditional academic research. Nature examines the gap between academia and forensic laboratories and explores ways to collaborate in both areas so that science can take a more solid foundation in the courts.
