Reviews
'DNA Technology represents one of the greatest scientific advancements of the last century. It has been truly phenomenal. Forensic Identification and Criminal Justice not only focuses on the development of DNA and other identification technologies and their uses within our criminal justice system, but also identifies the consideration that from scientific, legal and ethical perspectives total reliance on such evidence is not without risk. Such risk might arise as a result of the manipulation, misapplication or misunderstanding of the data in the courtroom. The book blends scientific knowledge and legal principles with philosophical concepts, particularly in relation to civil liberties and human rights. Importantly, it offers nothing that seriously undermines justifiable confidence in DNA evidence. The book provides a penetrating analysis of the subject and is a work for the shelves of force libraries.' â David Pickover, legal editor of Police Review
