【摘 要】 美国科学院国家研究顾问委员会 2009 年 2 月发布的《加强美国法庭科学之路》明确指出目前美国法庭科学领域的很多学科存在严重缺陷，不能很好地为司法审判服务。本文通过对该报告出台背景和一年多来的争论和反响进行分析，对其披露的问题和提出的建议进行了详细解读。目前其主要争议存在于设立独立的国家法庭科学研究院和隔离法庭科学机构与执法机构的行政关系等问题。该报告对我国的法庭科学体制改革具有一定的借鉴意义，我们需要结合我国的国情，借鉴该报告提供的决策程序、改革途径和策略，对我国法庭科学现状开展客观深入地分析调查，发现根本问题所在，对法庭科学开展广泛的基础研究，进行有效的质量控制，提供更多的教育培训项目，促进法庭科学健康发展。

Feedbacks and Suggestions of ′Strengthening Forensic Science In The United States: A Path Forward′. Xing Xueyi, Key Laboratory of Evidence Science（China University of Political Science and Law），the Ministry of Education, Beijing, 100088

【Abstract】 "Strengthening Forensic Science In The United States: A Path Forward", published by National Research Council of NAS in February 2009, pointed that there were serious deficiencies in the current United States forensic science system and many subjects actually were not reliable in Forensic practice. By deliberately analyzing the background of its publication and the debates and feedbacks after its publication, this thesis shows that major arguments still exist in whether to build a whole new National Forensic Science Institute, and whether to keep the criminal labs independent from the law enforcement departments. This report could be a good reference to China′s forensic science system reform. All of the transparent decision procedure, multilevel policies and comprehensive approaches could be a good example to China′s forensic science development.
