DESCRIPTION:I will give some examples of ways in which mathematical and st
 atistical  issues relevant to Forensic Science have arisen during my seven
  years as Chief  Scientific Adviser to the Home Office\, and also reflect 
 more widely on the role  of a scientist appointed to this role in Governme
 nt. Some of the aspects of my  2011 report into research into Forensic Sci
 ence remain relevant today and indeed  pose challenges for all the partici
 pants in this conference. I hope that my talk  will also be an opportunity
  to thank the Newton Institute for playing its part\,  alongside other nat
 ional and international research organisations\, in raising  the profile o
 f this important discipline.
