This book is an important contribution to 'new evidence scholarship' showing how mathematical probability theory provides a framework for the understanding and pursuit of factual accuracy in juridicial proof. Issues examined include the difference between civil and criminal standards of proof the variability of these standards the allocation of burdens of proof and whether there is a requirement that proof be detailed and not too generalised.
