Within the context of the use of DNA technology in crime investigation, biosecurity is perceived by different stakeholders according to their particular rationalities and interests. Very little is known about prisoners\u2019 perceptions and assessments of the uses of DNA technology in solving crime.<jats:italic>Aim<\/jats:italic>. To propose a conceptual model that serves to analyse and interpret prisoners\u2019 representations of DNA technology and biosecurity.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A qualitative study using an interpretative approach based on 31 semi-structured tape-recorded interviews was carried out between May and September 2009, involving male inmates in three prisons located in the north of Portugal. The content analysis focused on the following topics: the meanings attributed to DNA and assessments of the risks and benefits of the uses of DNA technology and databasing in forensic applications.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. DNA was described as a record of identity, an exceptional material, and a powerful biometric identifier. The interviewees believed that DNA can be planted to incriminate suspects. Convicted offenders argued for the need to extend the criteria for the inclusion of DNA profiles in forensic databases and to restrict the removal of profiles.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The conceptual model entitled<jats:italic>criminal genomic pragmatism<\/jats:italic>allows for an understanding of the views of prison inmates regarding DNA technology and biosecurity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/592364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,27]],"date-time":"2012-06-27T06:32:20Z","timestamp":1340778740000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Criminal Genomic Pragmatism: Prisoners' Representations of DNA Technology and Biosecurity"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Helena","family":"Machado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology, Research Center for the Social Sciences (CICS), Institute for Social Sciences, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Susana","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Predictive Medicine and Public Health, Institute of Public Health of the University of Porto (ISPUP), University of Porto Medical School, 4050-600 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0160-9327(03)00068-1"},{"key":"2","year":"2010"},{"key":"3","year":"2004"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1043986210377231"},{"issue":"2","key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1023\/B:CRIT.0000040255.29101.7a","volume":"12","year":"2004","journal-title":"Critical Criminology"},{"issue":"4","key":"6","first-page":"1051","volume":"62","year":"2010","journal-title":"Stanford Law Review"},{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrimjus.2010.09.004"},{"key":"14","year":"2010"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-720X.2006.00034.x"},{"key":"11","year":"2012"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.forsciint.2011.02.020"},{"key":"15","first-page":"153","volume-title":"Partners in crime: the use of forensic DNA technologies in Austria","year":"2010"},{"issue":"4","key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"453","DOI":"10.1017\/S1745855206004066","volume":"1","year":"2006","journal-title":"BioSocieties"},{"key":"4","year":"2009"},{"key":"7","year":"1993"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1463677042000237035"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0306312708097289"}],"container-title":["Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2012\/592364.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2012\/592364.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2012\/592364.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,7]],"date-time":"2020-05-07T04:05:51Z","timestamp":1588824351000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2012\/592364\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["592364","592364"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2012\/592364","relation":{},"ISSN":["1110-7243","1110-7251"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1110-7243","type":"print"},{"value":"1110-7251","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
