520 1  As our understanding of genetics increases, its 
       application to criminal justice becomes more significant. 
       This timely book examines the use of genetic information 
       both in criminal investigations and during the trial 
       process. It discusses current scientific understanding and
       considers some potential legal, ethical and sociological 
       issues with the use of genetic information. The author 
       draws together debates from scientists, ethicists, 
       sociologists and lawyers in order to understand how the 
       criminal justice system currently reacts, and ought to 
       react, to the new challenges presented by genetic 
       evidence. She asks the important question of where 
       priorities should lie: whether with society's desire to be
       protected from crime, or with an individual's desire to be
       protected from an unwanted intrusion into his or her 
       genome. Topics include rights of privacy and consent in 
       obtaining DNA samples, evidentiary issues in court, the 
       impact of genetic evidence on punishment theory and 
       sentencing, and genetic discrimination. This book will be 
       of use to criminal and medical law students, along with 
       academics, practitioners and policymakers interested in 
       exploring the various criminal law issues in relation to 
       genetics. It will also be of interest to criminal justice,
       philosophy, ethics, sociology and psychology students and 
       academics looking explore the legal issues involved in 
       such a topic.
