      abstract = {This book offers up-to-date information and guidance on  the application of metrology in legal proceedings,  clarifying the limits of validity of scientific evidence  and presenting an illuminating series of case studies in  which measurement uncertainty has played an important role.  The fundamental concepts of metrology are discussed, and it  is explained how metrology is capable of quantifying the  reliability of measurement results and thereby contributing  to appropriate decision making. With the aid of the  presented case studies, this book will assist readers in  understanding how legal decisions should be made in the  presence of uncertainty. Areas covered in those studies  include breath alcohol concentration analysis, and DNA  profiling. Nowadays, decisions in most legal cases are  based on evidence obtained through scientific analysis  involving the acquisition of accurate measurements. Against  this background, Forensic Metrology will be of value for  lawyers and judges in both civil and common law countries,  as well as engineers and other scientists with an interest  in the subject.},
