Estonia, Forensic Science Institute
The Estonian Forensic Science Institute is a state agency established on 1
January 2008 and administered by the Ministry of Justice. The institute was
formed as the result of the merger of two agencies, the Estonian Bureau of
Forensic Medicine and the Forensic Service Centre.
By year 1996 Forensic
Service Centre had become a central forensic institution that was able to serve
the whole Estonia. Due to several reorganisations and structural changes that
had taken place in the history of forensic science in Estonia, the legislation
in the area of forensic science was splintered end contradictious. Several
different laws regulated the area. Together with stability there grow a need to
regulate and to unify forensic activity, to determine the lega1 status of
forensic expert and to ensure availability of specialists by creating a
database of officially certified experts. Due to huge
development of science end technology it was extremely important to assure the
efficiency and validity of legislation that regulated forensic examinations. Elaboration of forensic Examination Act started in 1996 and the Act was
passed on May 30, 2001. The Act entered into
force on January 1, 2002.
The main objective in elaborating the Forensic Examination Act was:
1. to assure quality of
forensic examination by unifying forensic activity determining legal status of
forensic expert and creating a database of officially certified experts;
2. to cut down governmental costs by creating a system of charging the expenses of forensic examination from the convict.
