It offers practical guidance to forensic scientists with little dependence on mathematical ability as the book includes background information on statistics - including likelihood ratios - population genetics, and courtroom issues. The author, who is highly experienced in this field, has illustrated the book throughout with his own experiences as well as providing a theoretical underpinning to the subject. It is an ideal choice for forensic scientis 410 0$aStatistics in practice. 606 $aForensic genetics$xStatistical methods 615 0$aForensic genetics$xStatistical methods. 676 $a614/.1/0727 700 $aBalding$b D.
