Reviews
"There have been other forensic DNA books written before, but none has taken the reader through all aspects of DNA testing like this one...this book alone could make you feel prepared to understand a DNA case..." ( Clinical Chemistry , September 2005) "...a comprehensive, up-to-date discussion of forensic DNA technologies and their legal implications in the courtroom." ( CHOICE , April 2005) "...a concise guide to the use of DNA forensic analysis and how the information gained from such techniques are used in the legal system." ( E-STREAMS , February 2005) This valuable codebook will go a long way toward helping us win the 'DNA battle'...we owe the authors a great debt of gratitude." ( New York Law Journal , December 15, 2004)

Synopsis
Includes a Foreword by Dr. James D. Watson, the co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, and Dr. Jan A. Witkowski. "From the Foreword by Drs. Watson and Witkowski: 'DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications is a comprehensive and invaluable guide to the field, covering topics ranging from collecting samples in the field to presenting the complex results to a jury. We are sure that it will play its part in promoting this most powerful tool in the forensic scientist's armamentarium.'" DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications covers the technology and laws related to DNA, as well as the use of DNA evidence in the legal system. This combination of science and law makes it the first comprehensive title of its kind and an appropriate reference for those with both elementary and advanced knowledge of the topic. It draws together in one source information that would previously have required extensive research and reliance on experts to obtain, offering both breadth and depth in a clear style without s acrificing scholarly goals. With material from both scientific and legal areas, DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications covers the latest advances in technology. It provides an ideal text for forensic scientists and students of forensic science, analytical chemists, lawyers, judges, police officers, and detectives., "We are sure that DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications will play its part in promoting this most powerful tool in the forensic scientist's armamentarium." James Watson, PhD Jan Witkowski. PhD Because it consists of a number of complex steps and procedures subject to both scientific and legal standards, the collection, analysis, presentation, and interpretation of DNA evidence remains a complex process. Any procedural or documentary misstep can potentially render key evidence or testimony useless. To avoid such costly errors, scientists, law enforcement personnel, attorneys, and judges all must possess a detailed knowledge of how forensic DNA works, from the crime scene to the laboratory to the courtroom and beyond. DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to this important and increasingly prevalent legal tool. Designed to reach readers in both legal and scientific fields, this text gives a global view of the practical issues involved in the forensic use of DNA. In clear, nontechnical language, the text covers: A scientific overview of DNA and common DNA tests Techniques used by criminalists on the path from crime scene to final laboratory analysis Procedures used to analyze biological evidence Human genetics, population genetics, and statistics in the context of DNA testing and genetic profiling Understanding and interpreting DNA evidence with respect to past and present law Concepts and procedures used in challenging or defending DNA evidence Postconviction appeals based on analysis of existing DNA evidence, including a discussion of The Innocence Project The future of DNA technology with respect to legal evidence gathering and analysis In a unique combination of legal practice and scientific analysis, DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications provides forensic scientists, potential expert witnesses, and professionals in the criminal justice system with the definitive resource on the methods of DNA analysis as well as the handling, potential, and limitations of DNA evidence., Dieser Band überstreicht ein breites Themenspektrum zwischen naturwissenschaftlichen Aspekten und juristischen Anwendungen der DNA-Analytik. Er wendet sich besonders an Gerichtsmediziner, Juristen und Polizeibeamte, die verlässliche Informationen zu diesem Gebiet bisher mühsam in der spezialisierten Fachliteratur suchen oder bei Experten erfragen mussten. In klarem und anschaulichem, dabei didaktisch unaufdringlichem Stil werden auch neueste Ergebnisse und Entwicklungen besprochen., DNA: Forensic and Legal Applications covers the technology and laws that are related to DNA, as well as the way DNA evidence is used in the legal system. This combination of science and law makes it the first comprehensive title of its kind and an appropriate reference for those with both elementary and advanced knowledge of the topic.
