"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 12 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." "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."--BOOK JACKET.
