DNA profiling evidence is a forensic technique that has attracted considerable attention from scientists, lawyers and the media. It enables the scientist to compare two biological samples and to determine the likelihood that these samples originated from the same individual, and therefore has considerable potential as a forensic tool in criminal proceedings. But is DNA profiling evidence overwhelming or can a defence lawyer reasonably contest it in court? The research project detailed in this report evaluates the problems facing defence lawyers, both pre-trial and at trial, when they are dealing with this type of evidence.

The Abortion Act 1967 may be the most contested law in UK history, sitting on a fault line between the shifting tectonic plates of a rapidly transforming society. While it has survived repeated calls for its reform, with its text barely altered for over five decades, women's experiences of accessing abortion services under it have evolved considerably. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews, this book explores how the Abortion Act was given meaning by a diverse cast of actors including women seeking access to services, doctors and service providers, campaigners, judges, lawyers, and policy makers. By adopting an innovative biographical approach to the law, the book shows that the Abortion Act is a 'living law'. Using this historically grounded socio-legal approach, this enlightening book demonstrates how the Abortion Act both shaped and was shaped by a constantly changing society.

Ranging from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the 1980s, this book focuses on the evolution of the law and medical practice of abortion in England. Little academic attention has hitherto been given to the development and scope of abortion law in England, the formative influence of the medical profession, and the impact of the law on medical practice. Consequently, Dr Keown considers the performance of abortion by doctors, and the influence the medical profession had on the restriction of the law in the nineteenth century and on its relaxation in the twentieth. The book does not deal directly with the legal status of the unborn child, the rights and duties of its parents and of the doctors involved in the provision of abortion or the question of the desirability of reform. Rather, adopting a socio-legal perspective, it considers what the scope of the prohibition of abortion has been and focuses on aspects of professional influence on the evolution of that prohibition, and of professional practice thereunder.

• Introduction
• Gendering institutions and devolution
• Northern Irish politics and abortion
• The national institution : Westminster
• Creating the devolved institution : the peace process
• The devolved institution : power-sharing
• The devolved institution : Stormont
• Conclusion
• Appendix A. The 1967 Abortion Act
• Appendix B. List of Westminster/Northern Irish Assembly debates and proceedings referred to in the text

This book provides a comprehensive study of abortion politics and policy in Northern Ireland. Whilst there is a substantial amount of literature on abortion in Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, there has been scant academic attention paid to the situation in Northern Ireland. Adopting a feminist institutionalist framework, the book illustrates the ways in which abortion has been addressed at both the national institution at Westminster and the devolved institution at Stormont. Covering the period from early peace process in the 1980s to the present day, the text will be of interest to politics scholars, but also sociologists, historians and students of Irish studies. .
