This book addresses the use of biometrics - including fingerprint
identification, DNA identification and facial recognition - in the
criminal justice system: balancing the need to ensure society is
protected from harms, such as crime and terrorism, while also
preserving individual rights. It offers a comprehensive discussion
of biometric identification that includes a consideration of: basic
scientific principles, their historical development, the
perspectives of political philosophy, critical security and
surveillance studies; but especially the relevant law, policy and
regulatory issues. Developments in key jurisdictions where the
technology has been implemented, including the United Kingdom,
United States, Europe and Australia, are examined. This includes
case studies relating to the implementation of new technology,
policy, legislation, court judgements, and where available,
empirical evaluations of the use of biometrics in criminal justice
systems. Examples from non-western areas of the world are also
considered. Accessibly written, this book will be of interest to
undergraduate, postgraduate and research students, academic
researchers, as well as professionals in government, security,
legal and private sectors.
