Abstract

Forensic scientists around the world are adopting new technology platforms capable of efficiently analysing a larger proportion of the human genome. Undertaking this analysis could provide significant operational benefits, particularly in giving investigators more information about the donor of genetic material, a particularly useful investigative lead. Such information could include predicting externally visible characteristics such as eye and hair colour, as well as biogeographical ancestry. This article looks at the adoption of this new technology from a privacy perspective, using this to inform and critique the application of a Privacy Impact Assessment to this emerging technology. Noting the benefits and limitations, the article develops a number of themes that would influence a model Privacy Impact Assessment as a contextual framework for forensic laboratories and law enforcement agencies considering implementing forensic DNA phenotyping for operational use.

摘要

世界各地的法医科学家正在采用新的技术平台，以能够更有效地分析更大比例的人类基因组。进行这种分析可以带来显著的运营效益，特别是可以为调查人员提供更多有关遗传物质供体的信息，这是一个特别有用的调查线索。此类信息可以包括预测外部可见特征，如眼睛和头发颜色，以及生物地理祖先。本文从隐私角度探讨了这种新技术的采用，以此来为隐私影响评估在这种新兴技术中的应用提供信息和批评。本文注意到了其益处和局限性，并提出了一些主题，这些主题将影响作为法医实验室和执法机构考虑将法医 DNA 表型用于实际操作的情境框架的模型隐私影响评估。
