The International Centre for Evidence-Based Criminal Law (EB-CRIME) is a network of researchers from different scientific disciplines that collaborate in research projects about evidence in criminal cases. The research aims to facilitate evidence-based evaluations and decision making by, for example, police officers, prosecutors, forensic medical doctors and judges EB-CRIME is funded by the Swedish Research Council.
Would you like to participate in a study about oral statements in criminal cases?
