About

Mathematical techniques lie at the heart of modern forensic methods for investigating crime and bringing the criminal to justice. Across all fields of crime detection and analysis, we encounter a rich range of applications of mathematical, statistical and probabilistic methods. This talk shows a broad range of mathematical and statistical methods used to bring the criminal to justice.
