Making demonstrably reliable forensic voice comparison a practical everyday reality in Australia

为了协助澳大利亚执法机构和法院在定罪和无罪的过程中，该项目将开发和测试一个实用且明显可靠的法医声音比较系统，用于与澳大利亚的声音。这将使法医科学家能够使用与DNA相同的评估框架，为法庭提供可靠的证据陈述。此外，在刑事调查期间应用该制度可使调查重新集中在其他嫌疑人身上，或有助于利用认罪，从而节省大量时间和金钱。

To assist Australian law-enforcement agencies and courts in the process of the conviction of the guilty and the exoneration of the innocent, this project will develop and test a practical and demonstrably reliable forensic voice comparison system for use with Australian voices. This will allow forensic scientists to produce reliable strength of evidence statements for presentation in court using the same evaluative framework as used with DNA. In addition, application of the system during criminal investigations may lead to the refocussing of investigations on other suspects, or may help leverage guilty pleas, thus saving substantial time and money.
