Forensic DNA analysis plays a central role in the judicial system.
A DNA sample can change the course of an investigation with immense
consequences. Because DNA typing is recognized as the epitome of
forensic science, increasing public awareness in this area is
vital. Through several cases, examples and illustrations, this book
explains the basic principles of forensic DNA typing, and how it
integrates with law enforcement investigations and legal decisions.
Written for a general readership, Understanding Forensic DNA
explains both the power and the limitations of DNA analysis. This
book dispels common misunderstandings regarding DNA analysis and
shows how astounding match probabilities such as one-in-a-trillion
are calculated, what they really mean, and why DNA alone never
solves a case.
