This collection reviews developments in DNA profiling across jurisdictions with a focus on scientific and technological advancement as well as the political and socio-legal impact. Written by leading scholars in the fields of Social Studies of Forensic Science, Science and Technology Studies and Socio-Legal Studies the book provides state-of-the-art analyses of forensic DNA practices in a diverse range of jurisdictions, new and emerging forensic genetics technologies, and issues of legitimacy.

The work articulates the various forms of technolegal politics involved in the everyday, standardized, and emerging practices of forensic genetics and engages with the most recent scholarly and policy literature. In analyses of empirical cases, and by taking into account the most recent technolegal developments, the book explores what it means to live in a world that is increasingly governed through anticipatory crime control and its related risk management and bio-surveillance mechanisms, which intervene with, and produce political and legal subjectivities through human bodies in their DNA.

The volume will be an invaluable resource for those working in the areas of Social Studies of Forensic Science; Science and Technology Studies; Socio-Legal Studies; Sociology; Anthropology; Ethics; Law; Politics and International Relations.
