“…For example, particular sectors of the community may be disproportionately represented on DNA databases leading to potential reinforcement of existing prejudice 7,8 . Collection and retention policies, effectiveness of safeguards, ethical oversight and access to personal information raise issues of personal privacy and freedom.…”

Forensic services, founded upon good science and best practice, provide an inherent safeguard for human rights. Moreover, practitioners are well placed to uphold fundamental and longstanding rights such as 'the right to a fair hearing'. Our ability to embrace other emerging rights, however, is less clear. The increasing ambit and remit of forensic science is a cause of increasing social, legal and ethical concerns. Furthermore, there is an inherent tension between the notion of 'value free scientific method' and the conflicting dictates of government policies, which seek to recognise and protect greater religious, ethnic and cultural freedoms whilst being increasingly reliant upon forensic science in the detection, prevention and prosecution of criminality.This paper addresses, from the perspective of a practitioner, the complex relationship between forensic science and society and the implications of new developments upon our role in the criminal justice system within a human rights framework. In particular, this paper argues that forensic practitioners must actively engage with societal concerns. We cannot be simple onlookers in this debate.

“…If individuals are classified as deviants, when in fact they were not, their inclusion as research subjects may alter the results of studies investigating criminological motivations, since they had no such motivations. Cole (2009) built on this thought with a more recent discussion of the cultural consequences of miscarriages of justice. In this article, Cole argues that the media informs the public about crime and criminals.…”

Individual-level predictors of erroneous arrest for illegal behavior are investigated using a national level, probability sample. The analysis specifically examines whether being a “usual suspect” based on previous criminal behavior and being male; “guilt by association” based on the illegal behavior of one’s friends; academic achievement; and sociodemographic variables including ethnicity and socioeconomic status, impact the likelihood of being erroneously arrested for a crime. Results suggest that officers may be erroneously arresting minorities and individuals who have low academic achievement. Implications for policy and future research are considered.

“…This is difficult to explain to the general public. These kinds of developments, and other miscarriages of justice such as wrongful convictions, may undermine the legitimacy of the criminal justice system (Cole 2009). In short, these considerations illustrate the relevance of analyses of media portrayals.…”
