Genetic Testing and the Criminal Law is a unique international
treatment of the dynamic and established criminal investigation
technique of DNA testing. Gathering together expert practitioners,
judges and researchers from twelve countries, each chapter deals
with the specific criminal law of the jurisdiction in its
interaction with the expanding use of DNA testing in criminal
investigations and trials. The chapters cover the criminal law of
the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Spain,
South Africa, Canada, Italy, Finland, Argentina and Denmark,
providing valuable accounts not only of the use of genetic testing
in the criminal law, but also of the development of the law in
these jurisdictions. No previous work has included such an
extensive comparative study in this important area. Collectively,
this book emphasizes the need for the law to respond to scientific
developments thoughtfully and with a sensitive, well-reasoned
approach to current concerns relating to the reliability of DNA
evidence in criminal trials and the privacy and civil liberties
issues surrounding the collection of DNA samples from individuals
and their storage. This book is an invaluable reference for
scholars, practitioners of criminal law and private international
law, and students interested in this increasingly significant field
of law.
