Abstract

Desperate voyages, exploitation, naval interceptions and jailings ... Who would guess that an obscure 50-year-old medical textbook about bone age in children would become the subject of statistical controversy in court cases about people smuggling across Australia? Tim Cole tells the story of how it happened. © 2012 The Royal Statistical Society.
