Beschreibung
Molecular Forensics offers a comprehensive coverage of the increasingly important role that molecular analysis plays within forensic science. Starting with a broad introduction of modern forensic molecular technologies, the text covers key issues from the initial scenes of crime sampling to the use of evidential material in the prosecution of legal cases. The book also explores the questions raised by the growing debate on the applications of national DNA databases and the resulting challenges of developing, maintaining and curating such vast data structures. The broader range of applications to non-human cases is also discussed, as are the statistical pitfalls of using so-called unique data such as DNA profiles, and the ethical considerations of national DNA databases.
An invaluable reference for students taking courses within the Forensic and Biomedical sciences, and also useful for practitioners in the field looking for a broad overview of the subject.
* Provides a comprehensive overview of modern forensic molecular technologies.
* Explores the growing debate on the applications of national DNA databases.
* Discusses the initial phases of investigation to the conclusion of cases involving molecular forensic analysis.
Die wichtigsten Stationen der modernen Forensik vom Sammeln molekularer Beweismaterialien am Schauplatz eines Verbrechens bis zur Präsentation der Ergebnisse vor Gericht werden in diesem Band erfasst. Zur Sprache kommt auch die Behandlung von Material, das nicht von Menschen stammt, sowie zahlreiche interessante Fragen aus dem Umfeld (etwa statistische Probleme bei der Auswertung genetischer Fingerabdrücke und ethische Aspekte nationaler DNA-Datenbanken). Gleichermaßen geeignet für Studenten (Biomedizin und Forensik) und Praktiker.
