Acceptance of Forensic Evidence — Are there Standards?

Abstract

This paper will present a proposal for the introduction of standards in order to apply forensic methods in the judiciary. A proposal for the application of forensic methods in the United States of America will be presented, as a good practice for its implementation in European countries. This mostly refers to the Fray standards from 1923 and finally the Dauber standard from 1993, which is still used in the United States of America, as a reliable method for verifying the application of forensic methods in the judiciary.
