Outline of Final Research Achievements

While forensic DNA analysis has played an important role in the criminal investigation and the decision-making in a court, it has been revealed that it is difficult for non-experts to understand forensic DNA analysis accurately and to utilize it effectively. This study has focused upon forensic DNA analysis in Japan and examined the following four, how various actors understand forensic DNA analysis differently; how people’s understanding of forensic DNA analysis has changed; what sort of problems have occurred relating to forensic DNA analysis; the characteristics of people’s understanding of forensic DNA analysis in Japan.
