Forensic Science Policy & Management: An International Journal does not focus on the science of forensic science, but rather on how scientists, managers, and policy makers practice and use that science. The journal will provide a vital forum for exploring both current practice in forensic science and methods for improving and advancing the field so that it can meet rapidly increasing public needs and expectations.
