Falsification of evidence

Falsification of evidence involves intentionally altering, fabricating, or suppressing information to deceive or support a false conclusion. This can happen in research, investigations, or legal settings, where someone might manipulate data, forge documents, or hide facts to make results appear valid or to hide misconduct. Falsifying evidence undermines trust, hampers justice, and can lead to wrong decisions or beliefs based on untrue information. Recognizing and preventing falsification is essential for maintaining integrity and ensuring accurate, fair outcomes in any process relying on evidence.
