Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals

Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals

The use of DNA profiling in forensic cases has been considered the most innovative technique in forensic science since fingerprinting yet for those with limited scientific knowledge understanding DNA enough to utilize it properly can be a daunting task. Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals is designed for nonscientific readers who need to learn how to effectively use forensic DNA in criminal cases. Written by a forensic scientist world renowned for her expertise in clothing examination the book provides a balanced perspective on the weight of DNA evidence. Going beyond a simple explanation of the methodology it arms attorneys and other criminal justice professionals with knowledge of the strengths and limitations of the evidence including the danger in relying on DNA statistical probabilities in the determination of guilt. The book covers the most common DNA methods used in criminal trials today nuclear DNA short tandem repeat (STR) techniques mitochondrial DNA and Y-STR profiling. It helps prosecutors know when to emphasize DNA evidence or proceed with trial in the absence of such evidence. It assists defense lawyers in knowing when to challenge DNA evidence and perhaps employ an independent expert when to focus elsewhere or when to secure the advantage of an early guilty plea. By imparting practical and theoretical knowledge in an accessible manner the book demystifies the topic to help both sides of the adversarial system understand where DNA evidence fits within the context of the case.

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

In 1749 Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Arts and Sciences surprised leading Enlightenment thinkers who had enthusiastically upheld the positive benefits of humanity's technological advance. Voltaire who celebrated the ends of civilization mocked Rousseau's praise for an original creative state of nature in which man enjoyed an optimum level of freedom. Given the unprecedented intrusion of technology into our lives the question raised by Rousseau's critique may be even more pertinent. In this volume of Religion and Public Life contributors address some of the challenges to conventional morality brought on by the technological augmentation of the social structure. John Barker's essay explores how Luciano Floridi's philosophy of technology has complicated the conventional way of determining what ought to receive moral consideration. Fani Zlatarova provides a practical guide for incorporating ethical components into teaching computer technology. Grant Havers explores the controversies surrounding the biogenetic explosion through an examination of the competing philosophical perspectives and Christopher Vassilopolos examines the science-based justification for taking life. Gabriel R. Ricci looks at recent political history in the United States in order to highlight the sometimes uneasy relationship between science and social policy. Volume 37 is a welcome addition to the acclaimed Religion and Public Life series. | Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

The Private Papers of John Earl of Sandwich 1771-1782 Vol. I

The Private Papers of John Earl of Sandwich 1771-1782 Vol. I

The Fourth Earl of Sandwich was First Lord of the Admiralty (for the third time in his long career) from 1771 to 1782. Blamed by the Whig opposition for many of the disasters of the American War he was additionally loaded by 19th-century Whig historians with the false image of a corrupt libertine. It was the publication of these volumes of his correspondence and papers (then in the family home now in the National Maritime Museum) covering the years 1771 to 1782 which restored his reputation as a conscientious and imaginative naval administrator and reformer especially of the dockyards and of the timber question. Without entirely rescuing his status as a strategist they showed very clearly the weaknesses at the heart of the North administration which damaged its handling of the war and undermined Sandwich’s efforts. A fifth volume intended to cover his handling of naval patronage was overtaken by the war. This volume covers August 1770 to March 1778. With this volume a separate booklet was published which was the Corrigenda to Papers relating to the First Dutch War 1652-54 Capt A Dewar. See NRS Volumes 13 17 30 37 41 and 66. | The Private Papers of John Earl of Sandwich 1771-1782 Vol. I

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

For many decades race and racism have been common areas of study in departments of sociology history political science English and anthropology. Much more recently as the historical concept of race and racial categories have faced significant scientific and political challenges philosophers have become more interested in these areas. This changing understanding of the ontology of race has invited inquiry from researchers in moral philosophy metaphysics epistemology philosophy of science philosophy of language and aesthetics. The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Race offers in one comprehensive volume newly written articles on race from the world’s leading analytic and continental philosophers. It is however accessible to a readership beyond philosophy as well providing a cohesive reference for a wide student and academic readership. The Companion synthesizes current philosophical understandings of race providing 37 chapters on the history of philosophy and race as well as how race might be investigated in the usual frameworks of contemporary philosophy. The volume concludes with a section on philosophical approaches to some topics with broad interest outside of philosophy like colonialism affirmative action eugenics immigration race and disability and post-racialism. By clearly explaining and carefully organizing the leading current philosophical thinking on race this timely collection will help define the subject and bring renewed understanding of race to students and researchers in the humanities social science and sciences. | The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

Counter-Terrorist Financing Law and Policy An analysis of Turkey

Counter-Terrorist Financing Law and Policy An analysis of Turkey

Since the 9/11 attacks the world has witnessed the creation of both domestic and international legal instruments designed to disrupt and interdict the financial activities of terrorists. This book analyses the counter-terrorist financing law (CTF) policy and practice at the national level focusing on Turkey. The work examines the limits and capabilities of CTF efforts on terrorism threats and determines the effectiveness of CTF efforts in Turkey a country which has a pivotal role in terms of countering terrorism regionally and internationally. The Turkish case-study is supported by an empirical study involving 37 semi-structured interviews with CTF practitioners and law enforcement experts with different affiliations and backgrounds. The findings illustrate that Turkey’s CTF system has not obtained an adequate level of effectiveness as a result of lack of proper implementation of its policy in the bureaucratic legal and operational spheres. It is evident that the administrative and legal systems in Turkey are established according to the ‘one-size-fits-all’ international CTF standards and thus are compliant with the international CTF benchmarks yet the interviews reveal significant challenges at the implementation level including lack of training and financial security heavy handed bureaucracy inadequate coordination and communication between international and national levels. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics students and policy-makers working in the areas of financial crime and terrorism. | Counter-Terrorist Financing Law and Policy An analysis of Turkey

The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding

The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding

Some of philosophy’s biggest questions both historically and today are in-virtue-of questions: In virtue of what is an action right or wrong? In virtue of what am I the same person my mother bore? In virtue of what is an artwork beautiful? Philosophers attempt to answer many of these types of in-virtue-of questions but philosophers are also increasingly focusing on what an in-virtue-of question is in the first place. Many assume at least as a working hypothesis that in-virtue-of questions involve a distinctively metaphysical kind of determinative explanation called “ground. ” This Handbook surveys the state of the art on ground as well as its connections and applications to other topics. The central issues of ground are discussed in 37 chapters all written exclusively for this volume by a wide range of leading experts. The chapters are organized into the following sections:I. HistoryII. Explanation and DeterminationIII. Logic and StructureIV. ConnectionsV. ApplicationsIntroductions at the start of each section provide an overview of the section’s contents and a list of Related Topics at the end of each chapter points readers to other germane areas throughout the volume. The resulting volume is accessible enough for advanced students and informative enough for researchers. It is essential reading for anyone hoping to get clearer on what the biggest questions of philosophy are really asking. | The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding
