Reply to letter to the editor: Response to “A study of the perception of verbal expressions of the strength of evidence”

We would like to respond to the recent letter [1] that provided a response to our paper “Understanding forensic expert evaluative evidence: A study of the perception of verbal expressions of the strength of evidence” [2]. We concur with a number of the points raised in the letter, not least the importance of education and improving the understanding of evidence evaluation, particul arly when it comes to lay jurors. We suggest that this serves to highlight future research opportunities and challenges associated with the communication and presentation of evidence more generally.
