Forensic Statistics and Justice: the Leiden Consensus
Abstract
Between 26 and 29 April 2011 a four-day interdisciplinary workshop "Science meets Law" was held at the Lorentz Center (University of Leiden, NL). It was organised by the Lorentz Center in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences ("NIAS", Wassenaar, NL). The programme was prepared by Richard Gill and Johannes F. Nijboer and connected to Richard Gill's 2010-2011 stay at NIAS as Distinguished Lorentz Fellow. This document was prepared by three of us and represents our personal synthesis of the discussions which took place during the meeting. Comments are welcome.
