Description

In 1992, the NRC issued DNA Technology in Forensic Science, a book that documented the state of the art in this emerging field. The Evaluation of Forensic DNA Evidence reports on developments in population genetics and statistics since the original volume was published. This volume offers recommendations for handling DNA samples, performing calculations, and other aspects of using DNA as a forensic tool--modifying some recommendations presented in the 1992 volume.
