{"product_id":"forensic-metrology","title":"Forensic Metrology","description":"\u003cp\u003eForensic metrology is the application of scientific measurement to the investigation and prosecution of crime. Forensic measurements are relied upon to determine breath and blood alcohol and drug concentrations, weigh seized drugs, perform accident reconstruction, and for many other applications. Forensic metrology provides a basic framework for the performance and critical evaluation of \u003ci\u003eall \u003c\/i\u003eforensic measurements. It enables forensic scientists to better develop, perform and communicate forensic measurements; lawyers to better understand, present and cross-examine the results of forensic measurements; and judges to better subject testimony and evidence based on forensic measurements to the appropriate gatekeeping analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eForensic Metrology Scientific Measurement and Inference for Lawyers, Judges, and Criminalists\u003c\/b\u003e sets forth the metrological framework required to reach sound conclusions based on measured results and the inferences those results support\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Armed with this knowledge, scientists and nonscientists alike can:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngage in critical analysis of forensic measurements across a broad spectrum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter understand what measured results represent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuccessfully prepare and present testimony and\/or cases that involve such evidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognize poor measurement practices and prevent bad science from undermining the search for truth in the courtroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins by introducing and developing metrological principles and concepts.
