Abstract:

This Element examines progress in research and practice in forensic authorship
analysis. It describes the existing research base and examines what makes an
authorship analysis more or less reliable. Further to this, the author
describes the recent history of forensic science and the scientific revolution
brought about by the invention of DNA evidence. They chart the rise of three
major changes in forensic science – the recognition of contextual bias in
analysts, the need for validation studies and shift in logic of providing
identification evidence. This Element addresses the idea of progress in
forensic authorship analysis in terms of these three issues with regard to new
knowledge about the nature of authorship and methods in stylistics and
stylometry. The author proposes that the focus needs to shift to validation of
protocols for approaching case questions, rather than on validation of systems
or general approaches. This title is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
