Benefits of a
DNA DATABASE
THE MORE DATA - THE BETTER THE FUNCTION
In essence, forensic DNA databases are designed for one purpose – to generate investigative leads in criminal investigations. These leads are in turn used to track down criminal suspects and to link convicted offenders to other crimes they may have committed in the past. However, forensic DNA databases can even be used to identify missing persons just by having the DNA of a missing person’s loved ones. This data can be used to identify missing persons as well as unidentified human remains.
