Abstract
Monson KL, Smith ES, Peters EM. Accuracy of comparisons conducted by forensic firearms examiners. J Forensic Sci. 2023;68(1):86–100. https://doi.org/10.1111/1556-4029.15152
This communication corrects two inadvertent errors. The denominator of Equation 2 (page 89 of the publication) contains an extra value (848), although the stated result (2.92%) is correct. The corrected equation is:
The first paragraph on page 91 of the publication, which refers to Figure 5, is also revised as follows:
Examples of comparisons that resulted in false-positive errors are provided in Figures 3 (bullets), 4 (cartridge cases), and 5 (bullets). An example of a comparison that resulted in a false-negative error is provided in Figure 6 (cartridge cases). In addition to exemplifying erroneous conclusions, Figures 3–6 illustrate the difficulty level of many of the comparisons in this study.
We apologize for any convenience resulting from these oversights.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Forensic Sciences (JFS) is the official publication of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS). It is devoted to the publication of original investigations, observations, scholarly inquiries and reviews in various branches of the forensic sciences. These include anthropology, criminalistics, digital and multimedia sciences, engineering and applied sciences, pathology/biology, psychiatry and behavioral science, jurisprudence, odontology, questioned documents, and toxicology. Similar submissions dealing with forensic aspects of other sciences and the social sciences are also accepted, as are submissions dealing with scientifically sound emerging science disciplines. The content and/or views expressed in the JFS are not necessarily those of the AAFS, the JFS Editorial Board, the organizations with which authors are affiliated, or the publisher of JFS. All manuscript submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed.
