Which term describes the documentation of every person who handled evidence, as well as when, why, and what changes, if any, were made to it?

Civil liability

Civil right violation

Chain of custody

Chain of custody is the documented trail of evidence showing every person who handles it, along with the when, why, and any changes made to it. This record ensures the integrity of the evidence from collection through analysis to presentation in court, proving it hasn’t been tampered with or replaced. By detailing every transfer, action, and alteration, it holds people accountable and supports the item’s admissibility. Other terms refer to different concepts and do not describe this tracking and change-record process.
