JUSTICE THROUGH SCIENCE

Justice Through Science is a nonprofit corporation whose mission is bringing better science into criminal justice through forensic education and public service... ​DNA can be vital forensic evidence. A crime laboratory turns biological evidence into scientific data. But with mixed DNA from two or more people, labs often cannot transform their data into useful information. As a result, hundreds of thousands of evidence items are not fully used to pursue the guilty or free the innocent. Justice Through Science helps bridge this information gap... For better justice through science, trial lawyers and judges introduce modern DNA evidence. Using computers, statistical scientists unmix DNA mixtures and testify in court. Journalists explain modern DNA science to their readers. Justice Through Science provides forensic education for these professionals.​
