The American Statistical Association supports reform of our country's forensic science system.

The American Statistical Association (ASA) Board of Directors endorsed the recommendations of the 2009 National Academies’ report, Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward.

The report identified many serious deficiencies in the nation's forensic science system and called for major reforms and new research. It came after years of critiques of specific forensic science practices as well as calls for reform, but especially broke new ground by offering a comprehensive review of the forensic science system and adding the authority of the National Academies to the issue.
