摘要

美国国家司法研究所(NIJ)是美国司法部的研究和评估部门,是联邦政府法医科学研究、开发和评估的牵头机构,以及专门协助我们国家法医实验室提高效率并最终减少等待科学分析的积压证据的项目管理。对这种援助的需求从未像现在这样大,因为我们的法医科学实验室在跟上最新进展的同时,对DNA和其他法医分析的需求仍然前所未有。司法统计局(BJS)估计,公共资助的犯罪实验室在2014年收到了约380万份法医请求,当年完成了360万份请求[1]。BJS还报告称,截至2014年底,美国犯罪实验室估计积压了570100份法医服务请求,其中38%的实验室外包了一种或多种服务。由于每个“法医请求”可能涉及多个项目和每个项目的多个测试,因此单个测试的数量惊人;处理证据的拖延最终拖延了司法工作。

Cultivating the Next Generation of Forensic Scientists Through Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research and evaluation arm of the US Department of Justice, is the federal government’s lead agency for forensic science research, development and evaluation, as well as for the administration of programs dedicated to assisting our nations forensic laboratories to increase efficiency and ultimately reduce their backlogs of evidence awaiting scientific analysis. The need for this assistance has never been greater because our forensic science laboratories continue to be overwhelmed with unprecedented demands for DNA and other forensic analysis while keeping up with the latest advances. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) estimated that publicly funded crime labs received an estimated 3.8 million forensic requests in 2014 and completed 3.6 million requests that year [1]. BJS also reported that at the end of 2014, U.S. crime labs had an estimated backlog of 570,100 requests for forensic services with 38% of these labs outsourcing one or more types of services. Because each ‘forensic request’ can involve multiple items and multiple tests per item, the number of individual tests is staggering; delays in processing evidence ultimately delays the administration of justice.
