The presence of psychological biases that influence members engaged in the criminal justice process, specifically experts such as forensic investigators and analysts, is increasingly being discussed as an issue of concern regarding admissibility of scientific evidences and expert testimony. An overview of cognitive biases within forensic science highlights the vulnerabilities of the existing practices, and how they affect objective investigation and interpretation of results. These are presented in context of real case studies to highlight the key issues that compromise delivery of justice, and the need to recognize and mitigate the effect of these biases. Drawing from various existing empirical research and consequent policy recommendations, we discuss reformative solutions to minimize, control, or alleviate the impact of such cognitive biases on the individual expert as well as the collective forensic science disciplines to ensure credible and accurate decision-making.
