| Synopsis: |
Forensic science provides vital evidence to the criminal justice system and if the Government wants to continue being able to put the most serious criminals behind bars it has a duty to protect its health. Unfortunately the current Minister doesn't think it needs a strategy, instead preferring a hands-off approach. This is the type of thinking that led to the creation of an unstable forensics market, which led to the demise of the Forensic Science Service and now threatens the success of remaining private forensic science providers. The FSS closed in March 2012. The Committee found that the Government was slow in recognising the wider costs of its closure to the criminal justice system (CJS) and demonstrating value for money to the taxpayer. A lack of transparency over total police expenditure on forensic science exacerbated this uncertainty. The Committee also found that some police forensic laboratories had failed to make sufficient progress towards achieving accreditation to the same quality standard (ISO 17025) as private providers. The Forensic Science Regulator (FSR) now has an even more important role in ensuring compliance with quality standards.The Committee was also concerned that it remains as difficult as ever for forensic researchers to obtain funding for their research. The funding shortage means that the UK could fail to maintain its reputation in forensic science and fall behind on the capitalisation of new research and technologies. |
