The LR does not exist
55
TL;DR: Given evidence of a shared feature of a trace and an accused, this framework is applied to assign an evidential value to this correspondence, and it is demonstrated the LR is given by what the authors know about the proportion rather than by the unknown proportion itself.

Evaluation of forensic genetics findings given activity level propositions: A review
TL;DR: This critical review of current literature shows that with certain prerequisites for training and quality assurance, there is a solid foundation for evidence interpretation when propositions of interest are at the 'activity level'.
What should a forensic practitioner's likelihood ratio be?☆
TL;DR: It is argued that forensic practitioners should empirically assess and report the precision of their likelihood ratios, and a normative framework is outlined which a trier of fact could employ to make non-arbitrary use of the results of forensic practitioners' empirical calculations of likelihood ratios and their precision.

Juror comprehension of forensic expert testimony: A literature review and gap analysis
Heidi Eldridge
- 09 Mar 2019
TL;DR: There is a large, though incomplete, body of literature from the cognitive psychology domain that explores the question of what jurors understand when forensic scientists testify, and a review of that literature is intended for the forensic scientist community.

A Review of Probabilistic Genotyping Systems: EuroForMix, DNAStatistX and STRmix™.
TL;DR: Probabilistic genotyping has become widespread as mentioned in this paper, and EuroForMix and DNAStatistX are both based upon maximum likelihood estimation using a γ model, whereas STRmix™ is a Bayesian approach that specifies prior distributions on the unknown model parameters.

Communicating forensic science opinion: An examination of expert reporting practices.
TL;DR: The analysis of 500 randomly selected responses in eight disciplines indicated that the conclusion type which has received the most criticism in recent years (categorical statements) remains the preferred means of expression in a clear majority of responses.
