Abstract

[The two types of reasoning that represent the main trends in the research on reasoning with criminal evidence. The first is argumentative reasoning, where the parties argue for and against the facts-at-issue using arguments based on evidence. The second type of reasoning is story-based or narrative reasoning, where the parties each provide alternative stories that explain the evidence. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the types of reasoning and the similarities and differences between them are also discussed.]
