Racial Profiling Technology
January 22nd, 2008
It has been known for sometime now that criminals leave traces of themselves at crime scenes whether it is in the form of blood, semen, hair or a scrape of skin. A unique genetic fingerprint is left behind that will establish the presence of one person with certainty. Thus is the known side of DNA Testing.
DNA however, has a lesser known aspect to it. DNA traces also leave clues of ancestry and appearance which can eventually be used as a foolproof police sketch. This could be far more helpful to the resolution of the crime than typically unreliable descriptions from eyewitnesses. The science should prove itself reliable especially if there are differences in opinion between the DNA markers.
