Guest Lecture by Dr. Ashima Jain (Manipal University Jaipur, Rajasthan, INDIA)
The Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Gdańsk, is pleased to invite you to a Guest Lecture by Dr. Ashima Jain from Manipal University Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
📖 Lecture Topic: “Principles of Forensic Science”
Forensic science is based on fundamental principles that guide the identification, collection, analysis, and interpretation of evidence in legal investigations. Key principles include Locard’s Exchange Principle, which states that every contact leaves a trace; the principle of individuality, recognising that every object or person has unique characteristics; and the principle of comparison, requiring like to be compared with like. The principle of probability aids in evaluating evidential significance, while the principle of progressive change acknowledges that evidence can alter over time. Together, these principles ensure scientific accuracy, objectivity, and reliability in the administration of justice.
