Sci Justice. 2000 Oct-Dec;40(4):233-9. doi: 10.1016/S1355-0306(00)71993-9.

Abstract

The Forensic Science Service (FSS) has devoted appreciable effort to developing the application of the principles of evidence interpretation. Much of the work has been reported in previous papers in this journal, in particular those that develop a model for Case Assessment and Interpretation (CAI). The principles of interpretation are restated and the implications for structure and content of statements are described.
