This text provides a detailed plan for addressing the needs of the forensic science community and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within that community. While this book provides a call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
