Conflicting opinions in friction ridge examinations are inevitable events. Some agencies do not have a policy for resolving conflict; some that do have them are not very specific. How are examiners supposed to “see if they can resolve the conflict” if there are not specific recommendations and clear instructions for doing so? This webinar explores concrete methods for resolving conflict and deciding what to report. We will use case examples to illustrate specific scenarios and how to resolve them.
Learning Outcomes:
- The attendee will be able to define conflict resolution.
- The attendee will be able to identify critical research studies that demonstrate conflicting conclusions.
- The attendee will be able apply the Montani Method for identifying the source of conflict.
- The attendee will be able to identify how differences in likelihood ratios lead to conflicting opinions.
- The attendee will be able to describe different reporting mechanisms for conflicting opinions.
- The attendee will be able to identify and locate sources for developing conflict resolution protocols.
