Co-created, collaborative research disrupting the forensic science ecosystem

The Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science (LRCFS) is designed to disrupt positively the forensic science ecosystem. Our aims are broad and wide, striving to adapt, adjust and revise the validity and credibility of the science used in our court rooms. Forensic science is the application of science within the forum of the court, however there has been a growing concern that the science underpinning some of the forensic evidence lacks a robust foundation. The work undertaken by LRCFS aims to highlight and address the scientific deficiencies where they exist, and to develop knowledge and innovative solutions to the challenges forensic science and the Criminal Justice system is facing into the future
