Description: Thus, the very concept of âE˜quality of forensic examinationâE™ is composite and requires a comprehensive, systematic approach to its study. The concept of âE˜qualityâE™ is closely related to that of âE˜efficiencyâE™. It is generally remarked that an expert investigation should be complete, comprehensive, objective, etc., whereas an expert opinion should be complete, clear, consistent, coherent, informed, etc. Therefore, examining the efficiency of expert investigation and measures to improve it involves a simultaneous analysis of factors that raise the investigation quality and level, as well as reliability and validity of expertâE™s findings. The concept of quality may be regarded as a composite structure comprising the support for the following elements: legal, scientific and technological, methodological, organisational, logistical. The quality of expert investigation is not an abstract concept; it actually exists and has a certain content that expresses substantial certainty, since it results in an expert opinion âE" judicial evidence. An expert opinion has a procedural (legal), scientific and technological aspects. The âE˜quality of forensic examinationâE™ concept therefore has a procedural (legal), scientific and technological content.
