As our understanding of genetics increases, its application to
criminal justice becomes more significant. This timely book
examines the use of genetic information both in criminal
investigations and during the trial process. It discusses current
scientific understanding and considers some potential legal,
ethical and sociological issues with the use of genetic
information.The author draws together debates from scientists,
ethicists, sociologists and lawyers in order to understand how the
criminal justice system currently reacts, and ought to react, to
the new challenges presented by genetic evidence. She asks the
important question of where priorities should lie: whether with
society's desire to be protected from crime, or with an
individual's desire to be protected from an unwanted intrusion into
his or her genome. Topics include rights of privacy and consent in
obtaining DNA samples, evidentiary issues in court, the impact of
genetic evidence on punishment theory and sentencing, and genetic
discrimination. This book will be of use to criminal and medical
law students, along with academics, practitioners and policymakers
interested in exploring the various criminal law issues in relation
to genetics. It will also be of interest to criminal justice,
philosophy, ethics, sociology and psychology students and academics
looking explore the legal issues involved in such a topic.
