Abstract

The interpretation of forensic evidence is one of the more difficult areas of forensic science for students to understand and apply. To convey the complexities and fluidity
of interpretating evidence types such as fibres, glass and paint can be an education challenge with the concepts appearing quite abstract. Setting interpretation within a case allows
the student to better contextualise how varying factors impact upon interpretation of evidence but choosing a suitable case study can be testing. This poster discusses the
advantages of using case studies to enhance student ability to evaluate and critic the interpretation of evidence.
