About me
Emmanuel Nsiah Amoako is a forensic science academic whose work bridges science and law. His teaching and research explore how forensic science influences justice and how legal frameworks shape forensic practice.
With a commitment to contributing to the reduction of innocent people being wrongly convicted due to mistakes in forensic science, Emmanuel’s research focuses on policies and practices that ensure forensic science supports, rather than undermines, the justice system. Specifically, he is interested in the downstream use of forensic science during police investigations and court trials.
With a background in both Law (regulation of forensic science) and Forensic Science practice, Emmanuel's work is interdisciplinary and aligns with Critical Forensic Studies (a field that examines how forensic science operates within and impacts society). He has published widely on the relationship between regulation, quality standards, and public trust in forensic science.
Currently, Emmanuel is part of an ESRC-funded project with UK-based academics, investigating trust in forensic science within the Criminal Justice System, particularly through the experiences of marginalised communities.
