- This paper explores the relationship between modelling human hand dimensions and walking gait for use in the forensic fields. This study has directly informed the UK Ministry of Justice “Judicial Primer on Gait Analysis” (February 2017) with collaborator Black the primary author of the MoJ project. The Judicial Primer project was launched in 2016 with a remit to develop a set of documents which explain, in simple prose, the current scientific underpinning of scientific evidence which courts are likely to encounter. These, including the hand/gait work, are being used across the UK court system since late 2017.
