All of our research has practitioner input and the specific project areas are influenced by the outputs of strategic conversations which encompass the views of the whole crime scene to court ecosystem in challenge focused discussions. All projects are aligned to the five LRCFS thematic research pillars (detection, recognition, comparison, interpretation/evaluation and communication) and some of our work spans more than one thematic pillar.
