Abstract

Science and mathematics have inarguably shaped our modern world in almost every aspect of our lives. This level of impact has also had significant influences in the way our contemporary justice system oper-ates. Williams (2015) suggests that science has become the dominant form of knowledge which replaced metaphysics, ethics, and political philosophy. The greatest advantage scientific reasoning has over other forms of knowledge is the need for its practitioners to be disinterested in the results and operate objectively (Williams, 2015).
