"This book gives a detailed insight into the way in which DNA analysis is carried out, starting with: the structure of DNA; early attempts at personal identification, such as fingerprints; how DNA is analysed; the creation of DNA databases; and ethical considerations. It is not intended as a textbook of law, but as an adjunct to those who are studying law or want to become forensic scientists." "This book is intended as a resource for lawyers, at all levels, from students to barristers and beyond. All those that deal with DNA within the law need to have some grip on the way it is used. With a comprehensive glossary and analysis of the statistical use of DNA this book should be a valuable resource for all those involved, or just interested, in the way in which DNA is used in court."--BOOK JACKET.
