Inhaltsangabe

Vom Sicherstellen der Beweismittel am Ort eines Verbrechens bis zur Präsentation der Ergebnisse vor Gericht: Dieser Band führt im Kern umfassend in die Erstellung eines "genetischen Fingerabdrucks" (DNA-Profils) ein und diskutiert dazu zahlreiche Aspekte des wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Umfelds. Umfangreiche Fallstudien lassen den Stoff anschaulich werden, Informationen zur Statistik und Populationsbiologie ermöglichen einen Blick über den fachspezifischen Horizont hinaus.

An Introduction to Forensic Genetics is a comprehensive introduction to this fast moving area from the collection of evidence at the scene of a crime to the presentation of that evidence in a legal context. The last few years have seen significant advances in the subject and the development and application of genetics has revolutionised forensic science.
 
This book begins with the key concepts needed to fully appreciate the subject and moves on to examine the latest developments in the field, illustrated throughout with references to relevant casework. In addition to the technology involved in generating a DNA profile, the underlying population biology and statistical interpretation are also covered. The evaluation and presentation of DNA evidence in court is also discussed with guidance on the evaluation process and how court reports and statements should be presented.
