What is Truth machine : the contentious history of DNA fingerprinting about?

DNA profiling—commonly known as DNA fingerprinting—is often heralded as unassailable criminal evidence, a veritable “truth machine” that can overturn convictions based on eyewitness testimony, confessions, and other forms of forensic evidence. But DNA evidence is far from infallible. __Truth Machine__ traces the controversial history of DNA fingerprinting by looking at court cases in the United States and United Kingdom beginning in the mid-1980s, when the practice was invented, and continuing until the present. Ultimately, __Truth Machine__ presents compelling evidence of the obstacles and opportunities at the intersection of science, technology, sociology, and law.
