A single source for the legal and scientific aspects of DNA collection and analysis and the presentation of DNA evidence in Canadian criminal courts. The book addresses practical questions such as the methods of collection of a DNA sample from the crime scene or suspect, the science of DNA analysis and typing, preparation of a DNA warrant, presentation of DNA evidence to a judge or jury, and the role of the expert witness in the specific context of DNA evidence. Post conviction issues are also covered, in particular the National DNA Databank and other databanks, e.g. FSS, Codis. Theoretical issues such as the nature of DNA evidence are also examined.
This work will serve as a complete resource for those involved in the investigation, prosecution and defence of charges involving DNA evidence.
