Policing plays a major role in combating crime in the community, reassuring and assisting persons affected by crime so that they can continue, or return, to enjoying their lives. Forensic science is increasingly relied upon by law enforcement to solve crime, and by the judicial system to prosecute offenders. However, the value and impact of forensic science has yet to be established. Through a comprehensive examination of forensic science usage in the criminal justice system in Victoria and ACT, this research will develop an evidence-based best-practice model for using forensic science efficiently and effectively. This will benefit the Australian community through the achievement of better and more cost effective criminal justice outcomes.

在打击社区犯罪方面，警务工作发挥着重要作用，可以安抚和帮助受犯罪影响的人，使他们能够继续或重新享受自己的生活。执法部门越来越依赖法医科学来解决犯罪，司法系统也越来越依赖于起诉罪犯。然而，法医学的价值和影响尚未确定。通过对维多利亚和ACT刑事司法系统中法医科学使用情况的全面审查，这项研究将开发一种基于证据的最佳实践模式，以有效和有效地使用法医科学。这将通过取得更好和更具成本效益的刑事司法结果使澳大利亚社区受益。
