Yet many of the scientific, legal, and ethical concepts that underpin forensic DNA evidence remain unclear to the general public, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and students of law, forensic sciences, ethics, and genetics. Silent Witness examines the history and development of DNA forensics, its applications in the courtroom and humanitarian settings, and the relevant scientific, legal, and psychosocial issues. This book describesthe DNA technology used to compare the genetic profile of a crime scene sample to that of a suspect as well as the statisticalinterpretation of a match. It also reviews how databases can be searched to identify suspects and how DNA evidence can be used to exonerate the wrongfully convicted. Recent developments in DNA technology are reviewed as are strategies for analyzing sampleswith multiple contributors.Silent Witness recounts how the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo searched for children kidnapped during military rule in Argentina as well as recent efforts to locate missing children in El Salvador. Other chapters examine the role that DNA forensics played in the identification of victims of genocide in Bosnia and terrorism in the post 9/11 era. Social anthropologists, legal scholars and scientists then explore current applications of DNA analysis in human trafficking, mass catastrophes, border policies affecting immigration, and the ethical issues associated with privacy, informed consent and the potential misuse of genetic data"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a DNA fingerprinting. 650 0 $a Forensic genetics. 650 0 $a DNA $x Analysis. 650 7 $a DNA $x Analysis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00886556 650 7 $a DNA fingerprinting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00886584 650 7 $a Forensic genetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00931964 700 1 $a Erlich, Henry A., $d 1943- $e editor. 700 1 $a Stover, Eric, $e editor. 700 1 $a White, Thomas J., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Silent witness $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2020. $z 9780190909475 $w (DLC) 2020022221 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015738.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E8BAD4871B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
