The use of forensic identification evidence in the criminal process has increased dramatically in recent years in light of ever developing technologies and science. This has affected all stages of the process, revolutionizing investigative techniques and evidence collection, transforming the presentation of evidence at trial and becoming crucial in appeals of fact. In line with contemporary crime control agendas, these developments have been welcomed as assisting with the desire to increase efficiently the number of convictions. This book represents a balanced evaluation of the developments in the science, collection, use and retention of DNA and fingerprint evidence. Forensic Identification and Criminal Justice: Forensic Science, Justice and Risk combines results from an empirical investigation by McCartney based on interviews with criminal justice officials involved in forensic identification (and the subsequent use of such information) with a historical and explanatory account of developments in the field. This is all encapsulated within the analytical framework of the ‘risk society’ (Beck 1992). This concept impacts on many levels beyond the risks known to be associated with reliance on such evidence as proof of the commission of a crime. It has also shaped the way that we investigate crime and attitudes to the retention of personal information. McCartney uses ‘risk’ to offer effective critical chapters throughout.
