An original contribution to both the literature on emerging technologies and the literature on contemporary theories and investigative techniques in forensic science. The chapters address cutting-edge, developing, and even hypothetical techniques and technologies in forensics research and practice, especially as it relates to the criminal justice and law enforcement worlds in contemporary society. Forensic science, as a relatively new field of research still actively identifying itself in the larger landscape of the sciences, has been sharply criticized for utilizing techniques deemed...

Krishnan describes military applications of neuroscience research and emerging neurotechnology with relevance to the conduct of armed conflict and law enforcement. This work builds upon literature by scholars such as Moreno and Giordano and fills an existing gap, not only in terms of reviewing available and future neurotechnologies and relevant applications, but by discussing how the military pursuit of these technologies fits into the overall strategic context. The first to sketch future neurowarfare by looking at its potentials as well as its inherent limitations, this book s main theme is...

While the military use of drones has been the subject of much scrutiny, the use of drones for humanitarian purposes has so far received little attention.

This book addresses how and why the nature of security has changed and what this means for the security actors involved and the wider society. The expert...

Unmanned combat air vehicles, or in common parlance 'drones', have become a prominent instrument in US efforts to counter an objective (and subjective) cross-border terrorist threat with lethal force. As a result, critical questions abound on the legitimacy of their use. In a series of multidisciplinary essays by scholars with an extensive knowledge of international norms, this book explores the question of legitimacy through the conceptual lenses of legality, morality and efficacy, it then closes with the consideration of a policy proposal aimed at incorporating...
