LAW AND SCIENCE
TEXT 1
Read and translate the text:
LAW AND SCIENCE
The philosophical foundation of the criminal justice system remains to protect the innocent and to ensure that the truth emerges for any matter before the court, thereby ensuring that justice is done. While crime laboratory scientists may pride themselves as being "independent finders of fact," most operate under police jurisdiction or administration, and many scientists, perhaps unconsciously, develop the attitude that they work exclusively for the best interest of the police or the prosecutor.
When emotions overcome reason, a zealous forensic scientist may intentionally or inadvertently deny real justice. Results are misinterpreted, or worse, falsified. Such science may not be easy to spot, since it can only appear through the results of the scientific investigation. While no one can ever attain anything close to a perfect harmony of reason with emotion, forensic scientists at least have a political duty to strike the best balance possible under life's most difficult circumstances. Of course, completely satisfying this duty remains both difficult and elusive. The commitment to ethics should be stressed in the education of a forensic scientist. The values inherent in "good science," including both these moral elements and the nonmoral elements distinguishing reliable from unreliable scientific practice, should be a part of official forensic scientific curricula.
In the practical world, only the competence and rigorous honesty of the individuals preserve the philosophical basis of the criminal justice system designed to protect the innocent and expose the truth about complex actions. The system works if, and only if, morally honest individuals hold key positions of power.
Without high ethical standards, forensic scientists may become what is known in the profession as hired guns. The student considering this profession should resist the temptation of selling whatever opinion is needed by defense or prosecution. Properly educated, experienced scientists may also act as gunslingers through ignorance or misapplication of method. This might involve purposefully omitting relevant tests or suppressing relevant results. Many such experts may develop an entirely unjustified sense of their own scientific abilities and observational powers.
In the real forensic sciences, individual scientists always work as members of a larger team, perhaps with other specialized scientists, law enforcement investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, juries and the media, each contributing his or her efforts toward the bigger picture of a public trial, or an investigation capturing the public interest. The job of a forensic scientist is not one of glamorous celebrity.
Notes:
1. hired guns - a person, especially a professional killer, employed to kill-someone.
The noun gun has been slang for a professional criminal since the mid-1800s.
2. gunslinger, is a 20th century name, used in cinema or literature, referring to men in the American Old West who had gained a reputation as being dangerous with a gun.
3. a celebrity is a person who is easily recognized in a society or culture.
