Abstract

We discuss and comment on the use of statistics in a number of topical issues in forensics and medicine. The forensic issues are scientific misconduct, DNA pattern matching, and causal analysis. In the biomedical area, particular statistical approaches are suggested for problems of mass screening, interim analysis, and the regulation of chronic diseases.
