While anthropology is a scientific study of all aspects of human development and interaction, forensic anthropology studies identifying characteristics on the remains of an individual. In other words, anthropology focuses more on culture while forensic anthropology focuses on bones. Analysis of someone’s bones can help in determining the sex, race, age, stature, injuries, and time of death. These factors can link a suspect to a crime and reveal what happened to a person before death (antemortem)…
It is common to hear reports in the media of crimes that have been solved with theassistance of DNA analysis (Brown, 2006). If enough blood, semen or tissue is foundat a crime scene, forensic laboratories can determine the blood type or tissue type byusing antibodies to detect specific cell surface proteins (Campbell et al, 2006). Thismethod unfortunately requires large amounts of fresh samples and is not a strongsource of evidence as several people have the same blood or tissue type and thus…
of all the new Y chromosome research is over work showing that in some cases, Y chromosomal profiles CODIS as of right now does not contain any Y profiles, but this begins to bring up genetic privacy. When it comes to genetic privacy national DNA databases like CODIS arouse controversy. Not all national data bases have the same laws and regulations as us but in the United States, STR profiles were originally collected only from convicted sex offenders, but the data base has been expanding…
DNA evidence is a crucial piece of information in a criminal case. DNA evidence is regularly used in criminal cases and is often used as evidence in court, sometimes being the dealbreaker for if someone goes to jail or not. Although DNA is reliable, there are cases where DNA has been tampered with, contaminated, or lost, sometimes wrongly accusing someone who is innocent. Although the use of DNA is still fairly new, it has quickly become the best and most reliable source of evidence in criminal…

DNA Fingerprinting Introduction Background: DNA fingerprinting is one of the great discoveries of the late 20th century,that has revolutionized forensic investigations. (Roewer 2013) The complete DNA of each individual is unique, with the exception of identical twins. It is this difference that can be used by forensic scientists to match specimens of blood , tissue, or hair follicles to an individual with a high level of certainty. A DNA fingerprint, therefore, is a DNA pattern that has a…
should implement a DNA Database for all criminal suspects. According to criminal.findlaw.com, a DNA database is a national data system filled with DNA profiles. It is usedfor many different reasons, but today we are focusing on it helping to solve crimes all around the country. While this idea sounds picture perfect, there are many issues that are failed to be mentioned when this topic is brought up. My team and I are here today to express the dangers of a national DNA Database. My first…
convicted citizens. DNA evidence is not used enough in trials. This is a problem because states have the technology and resources available to them and still conviction citizens wrongfully. In an article it mentioned that, “All states have DNA databases” (“Should the Justice”). This piece of evidence clearly explains my point that the states have the data but are not using it correctly because many citizens are being falsely…
Hello I am Michelle Torres a well-known forensic scientist, and I am here to prove that Bob last week murdered Lisa in her own home. I have the evidence to properly prove that my accusation is correct. Hair evidence is very important, it is a timeline that holds a lot of information about a person, like drug use, locations, and dietary information. Analysts are able to tell if individual hairs are human or animal. In our case we are working with human hair, human hair can be tested to…
