Introduction

Data Governance for Justice and Human Rights: Forensics, Flow and Frontiers examines the historical development and current applications of data in legal decision-making, including AI-driven fact-finding and evidence-based argumentation. It also addresses the governance of legal data, tackling challenges such as AI-generated misinformation, forensic bioinformatics, and cognitive biases in forensic science. Finally, it highlights novel forensic applications, particularly in bioinformatics for human identification.


Key Features

  • - Comprehensive coverage of data-driven approaches in law and justice.
  • - Focus on AI, machine learning, and statistical methods in forensic applications.
  • - Explores governance, ethics, and strategies for reliable legal data use.
  • - Case studies and real-world examples linking theory to practice.

Target Readership:

Scholars, researchers, and practitioners in data science, AI, bioinformatics, law, and forensic science.
