       After Marper: Two Readings, Two Responses

                           Roger Brownsword *




Abstract

This editorial responds to the important case of S and Marper v The United Kingdom
(2008) in which the European Court of Human Rights held that the law that
authorises, in England and Wales, the taking and retention of DNA samples, together
with the making and retention of identifying profiles for criminal justice purposes, is
disproportionately broad, a conclusion which contradicts two domestic appellate
panels.
