Streszczenie
This is the first of two papers describing roles for statistics in forensic science. Four applications for statistics in crime investigations are described. The outcomes of these applications are not of themselves evidence but can aid in investigations from which evidence may be derived and evaluated using the ideas described in the second paper of the pair.
