Welcome to the Evidence Based Justice Lab at the University of Exeter Law School

We are an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Exeter, working at the intersection of psychology, data science, and law.

We specialise in scientific and quantitative research relevant to law and policy, and in effectively translating that work to be useful in practice.

We run a searchable wrongful convictions registry with interactive case search and resource wiki functionality. For more information on some of our current research projects, see the links below.

• Decisions to admit guilt in the criminal justice system.
• The evaluation of witness testimony.
• Legislation and policy to enhance public health and human rights aims.
• Expertise and decision-making in forensic science.
• Law and technology and the operation of online justice.
