DESCRIPTION:The likelihood ratio has many advocates amongst forensic stati
 sticians as the  best way to evaluate evidence. Its use often requires tra
 ining data from  populations whose relevance to the issue at trial is dete
 rmined by propositions  put forward by the prosecution and defence in a cr
 iminal trial. The choice of  these populations and the choice of the sampl
 ing of data from them are two  reasons for the courts to query an approach
  to evidence evaluation based on the  likelihood ratio. Consideration of t
 hese choices will be discussed in the  context of recent work on the evalu
 ation of evidence of the quantities of  cocaine on banknotes in drug-relat
 ed crimes.
