Excellent- More about Forensic Image: Scientific Visualization and DNA
The use of genetic data has expanded beyond the criminal legal domain to national security, defense, immigration, humanitarian, army, and military operations, with genetic imaging systems playing a crucial role. Erin Kruger analyzes the role of the image in determining the scientific validity and legitimacy of genetic data, drawing upon recent work in Science and Technology Studies to address legal and institutional agendas, technologies, discourses, and controversies. She demonstrates the complexity and contingency of scientific presentations of truth, challenging public discourses that unproblematically parade the benefits of technological innovations.

In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the use of genetic data has expanded far beyond the realm of criminal law enforcement and into various domains, including national security, defense, immigration, humanitarian efforts, and military operations. This shift has transformed the role of genetic data from mere evidence to a valuable source of intelligence. Central to this transformation is a significant reconfiguration of genetic imaging systems, as highlighted by Erin Kruger in her analysis. Kruger explores the significance of images in determining the scientific validity and legitimacy of genetic data, posing questions such as how genetic imagery is assigned meaning and how it gains credibility and trustworthiness. Drawing upon recent work in Science and Technology Studies, Kruger examines the complexities and contingencies of scientific presentations of truth, challenging the simplistic portrayal of technological innovations as inherently beneficial. Her analysis highlights the nuanced interplay between scientific practices, institutional agendas, technologies, discourses, and controversies, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of scientific knowledge production.
