Digital evidence in defence practice
This article examines how criminal defence lawyers in the English adversarial system understand and use digital evidence (DE). Its first aim is to provide an empirical insight into their practices. Secondly, the article seeks to analyse the difficulties encountered by these professionals in accessing and working with DE—both those that they receive from the prosecution and those presented by the DE they need to defend their clients. Thirdly, the …
Evincing Offence
A reader can expect the abstract, paper and keywords to discuss descriptions of evidence, classification schema, seizure rules and more generally the data frictions, constraints and limitations associated with the processing of digital forensic evidence involving children in England. The widespread availability and use of digital devices both enables criminal acts and helps to detect them. The production and circulation of indecent images of chil…
Dirty Work? Policing Online Indecency in Digital Forensics
More than 80 per cent of the work undertaken by digital forensics examiners deals with images of sexual abuse of children. While a growing body of literature analyses the emotional dimensions of coping with such material and the need to minimize exposure to it, less attention has been given to the day-to-day organizational arrangements in which such images are processed. Using ethnographic observations and interviews with practitioners, police of…
Rationing bytes
With the growing sophistication and prevalence of digital devices such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, sat-navs, and domestic appliances, the extraction, analysis and interpretation of digital data has become increasingly central to intelligence gathering and criminal proceedings. However, the very extent of data available today challenges the ability of police agencies to turn seized devices into useful evidence. To date, most social scien…
Clearly Necessary', 'Wonderful' and 'Engrossing'? Mass Observation Correspondents Discuss Forensic Technologies
This article explores the perspectives of Mass Observation (MO) correspondents on crime investigation and application of forensic technologies in police work. Using the Panel's replies to two distinct, independently commissioned Directives (the 2006 Spring Directive, Part 1 'Genes, Genetics and Cloning' and the 2011 Autumn/Winter Directive, Part 1, 'Crime and Investigation'), the article examines the meanings and place correspondents give to gene…
Backroom Boys
Despite a sustained preoccupation with crime scene investigation in policing and instructional literatures, government reviews and media accounts, the crime scene examiner has received scant sociological attention. Focusing on scientific support personnel in an English police force, this article analyses how embedded actors who routinely facilitate the provision of crime scene examination reflect on their role and position in the investigative pr…
A Faustian bargain?” Public voices on forensic DNA technologies and the National DNA Database
This article draws on the idea of the ‘forensic imaginary’ (Williams 2010) to explore UK public perspectives on the place, role and significance of forensic DNA technologies, both independent of and in relation to other genetic applications. Using correspondents’ replies to the Spring 2006 Mass Observation Directive ‘Genes, Genetics and Cloning’, the analysis focuses on continuities and tensions in their discursive repertoires. The argument exami…
Cardiac stem cell research
Debates on the regulation of stem cell research (SCR) tend to center on the governance of ethically contested stem cells (i.e. human embryonic), focus on the macro-dynamics of science development and the role of legislative bodies, and rely on documentary resources. They also largely ignore regulatory dynamics in adult SCR, where clinical trials have brought SCR closer to application. This article examines the contextual elaboration of novel medi…
The clinician-scientist
Clinical applications of biomedical research rely on specialist knowledge provided by professionals who straddle research and therapy, and possess both medical and scientific expertise. To date, this professional group remains under-explored in sociology. Our article presents a case study of clinician-scientists working in stem cell research for heart repair in the UK and Germany who are engaged in double-blind randomised clinical trials using pa…
Stem cells clinical trials for cardiac repair
Macro-analyses on the regulation of new biomedical objects tend to focus on discursive structures and legislative categories in science policy debates at national and cross-national levels, but overlook how actors engage in regulatory practices on an everyday basis. Based on data from ethnographic fieldwork in British and German clinics, and 32 interviews with medical staff, this article provides an insight into the regulation of adult stem cell …
Objectivity by Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison
Zone Books , 2007 , 502 pp. , ISBN 978-1-890951-78-8 In this volume, Daston and Galison argue that scientific objectivity, rather than being an inflexible and immutable trait (much valued in the modern period), is a historically specific category whose development can be documented through the examination of scientific atlases from the mid eighteenth century onwards. The scientific visual representations which Daston and Galison analyse here prov…
Just because you can get a wheelchair in the building doesn't necessarily mean that you can still participate’
Despite governmental efforts and organizational initiatives, the number of disabled professionals in full-time employment is small, and the number of those occupying leadership positions remains even smaller. Past research into disability and employment has outlined a range of barriers that disabled people face in seeking and maintaining employment. Yet, not enough is known about the challenges they encounter in top ranking appointments. This art…
Histories of Sexuality. Antiquity to Sexual Revolution
Stephen Garton, London: Equinox, 2004. Pp. xiv+311. £14.99 (pbk). ISBN 1–904768–24–5. Stephen Garton's Histories of Sexuality: Antiquity to Revolution presents some of the most significant debates on sexuality in the Western world, from the work of historians such as Steven Marcus to that of Michel Foucault. The volume considers the ways in which historians have explained the sexual practices of the past and how these perspectives have influenced…
