Paper Summary:
This report will examine the intersection of law and psychology in terms of expert testimony. The starting point will be several studies which have cast doubt on the reliability of expert testimony, specifically in regard to child abuse cases and how police officers collect and interpret the information related to a case. From there the paper will move on to a discussion of the legal principles involved, and how they have been enacted in practice. The fundamental thesis of this report is that expert testimony is not being subjected to rigorous enough scrutiny, and is less reliable than has been assumed.More papers on Expert Witnesses in the Courts:
