title: DNA forensic science 1995.
abstract: After digression by a National Research Council committee, forensic use of DNA identification is returning to methods that do not violate population genetics and statistics. Polemic has been replaced by normal science as advances are made in molecular techniques and presentation of evidence. Rigorous quality control over the chain of custody and likelihood calculations still need to be implemented, and evidence extended on the structure of forensic populations and the operating characteristics of alternative tests.
