Inside the Cell by Erin Murphy
This eye-opening exploration of the ethical and social issues surrounding the collection, storage, and use of DNA as forensic evidence shows why the system is broken, and what it means for our privacy and civil liberties.
"The book is full of cases and examples that propel Murphy's discussion forward and will no doubt unsettle the average citizenThankfully she also provides actionable recommendations for policy changes in a legal system that so far has little to say about the collection and uses of DNA." --Publishers Weekly "A specialized work that will appeal to attorneys, investigators, crime writers, and others on the frontiers of forensic DNA laws and technologies." --Kirkus Reviews "This brilliant, accessible, and extremely important book by one of our foremost scholars has a timely message: Without disputing its transformative impact, Murphy argues that DNA testing is not a panacea for the criminal justice system or forensic scientists. Murphy provides a balanced, thoughtful, and essential roadmap to a more democratic future. A must-read." --Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, cofounders, the Innocence Project
