راهنمای وکیل در مورد DNA: از آزمایشگاه تا دادگاه

A Litigator's Guide to DNA educates litigators, judges, criminalists, students, and others about all aspects of the use of DNA evidence in criminal and civil trials. It includes discussions of the molecular biological basis for the tests, essential laboratory practices, probability theory and mathematical calculations. It presents issues relevant to all parties involved in trying a case, from the prosecution and the defense, and to the judge and jury. The book is also extremely useful as a text for students aspiring to careers in forensic science and criminal law. The authors provide a full background on both the molecular biology and the mathematical theory behind forensic tests written specifically for people with little or no science background. No other book relates the foundational information on molecular biology and statistics to legal practice issues as extensively as this book does. \* "Recapping the Main Point" boxes provide a simple and concise summary of the main points \* Includes a glossary of essential terms and their definitions \* Contains a full-color insert with illustrations that emphasize key concepts A Litigator's Guide to DNA educates litigators, judges, criminalists, students, and others about all aspects of the use of DNA evidence in criminal and civil trials.

* Includes a glossary of essential terms and their definitions
* Contains a full-color insert with illustrations that emphasize key concepts A Litigator's Guide to DNA educates both criminal law students and forensic science students about all aspects of the use of DNA evidence in criminal and civil trials. It includes discussions of the molecular biological basis for the tests, essential laboratory practices, probability theory and mathematical calculations, and issues relevant to the prosecution and the defense, and to the judge and jury hearing the case. The authors provide a full background on both the molecular biology and the mathematical theory behind forensic tests, describing the molecular biological process in simple mechanical terms that are familiar to everyone, and periodically emphasizing the practical, take-home messages the student truly needs to understand. Pedagogical elements such as Recapping the Main Point boxes and valuable ancillary material (Instructors' Manual, PowerPoint slides) make this an ideal text for professors. "A Litigator's Guide to DNA is an excellent resource for litigators, judges, criminalists and students of forensic science or law. The book includes discussions of the molecular biological basis for DNA testing, essential laboratory practices, probability theory and mathematical calculations, and issues relevant to the prosecution, the defense, and the judge and jury hearing the case. By describing the biological processes in simple mechanical terms that are familiar to everyone, and in emphasizing the practical "take-home" messages the litigator truly needs to understand, A Litigator's Guide to DNA is the first book to take the complicated science of DNA and boil it down into terms that the non-scientist can understand."--BOOK JACKET. Educates litigators, judges, criminalists, and students about various aspects of the use of DNA evidence in criminal and civil trials. This book includes discussions of the molecular biological basis for the tests, essential laboratory practices, probability theory and mathematical calculations.
