This collection reviews developments in DNA profiling across
jurisdictions with a focus on scientific and technological
developments as well as their political, ethical, and socio-legal
aspects. Written by leading scholars in the fields of social studies
of forensic science, science and technology studies and socio-legal
studies, the book provides state-of-the-art analyses of forensic DNA
practices in a diverse range of jurisdictions, new and emerging
forensic genetics technologies and issues of legitimacy. The work
articulates the various forms of technolegal politics involved in the
everyday, standardised and emerging practices of forensic genetics and
engages with the most recent scholarly and policy literature. In
analyses of empirical cases, and by taking into account the most
recent technolegal developments, the book explores what it means to
live in a world that is increasingly governed through anticipatory
crime control and its related risk management and bio-surveillance
mechanisms, which intervene with and produce political and legal
subjectivities through human bodies in their DNA. This volume is an
invaluable resource for those working in the areas of social studies
of forensic science, science and technology studies, socio-legal
studies, sociology, anthropology, ethics, law, politics and
international relations.
