One day me and my grandmother where at a bookstore shopping for a friends birthday.

I thought it was a wonderful idea and me and my dad agreed that anything I sold I got to keep the money for. So I got a pile of old toys and…

It took several weeks of undercover police work to officially determine Lonnie Franklin was the probable culprit in…

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in databases, is a computerized process of skimming through large amounts of raw data and extracting essential new, hidden or unanticipated information that can be resourceful for performing various analytical functions. It is categorized into two divisions:…

I do believe that DNA should be collected from every person arrested. This should occur when photographs and fingerprints are recorded. This information can be reviewed weekly for unsolved crimes. It is a very important piece of information that could possibly clear your name, as we have seen many people wrongfully incarcerated. This data allows databanks in different countries to share information on people. It can also allow for the identification of missing or dead people. The only reason to…

There have been cases where the suspect is unknown and all the Crime Scene Investigator has is the biological evidence from the incident, so that evidence would be collected, analyzed and processed to other offender profiles in the DNA database. Now, the DNA database contained other offenders who have been arrested or is currently served time within a prison or jail system for an unrelated crime. (The United State Department of Justice, 2016). There have been cold cases and current case solved…

King. (Maryland, Petitioner v. Alonzo Jay King, Jr., 2013) Alonzo Jay King, Jr. was arrested on assault charges and his DNA was collected while he was under arrest but before his later conviction. This DNA was entered into Maryland’s DNA database. It was determined that King’s DNA matched the DNA of an unsolved rape case. The DNA was the only evidence tying King to the case. King’s motion to suppress the DNA evidence was denied and he is presently serving a life sentence after being…

his conviction and to have the DNA reassessed with newer technology were never approved until the Innocence project took on the case in January 2006 (Innocence Project). They had the semen from the rape kit retested and the DNA was put through the databases that contains previously convicted individuals (Innocence Project). In September 2006 the DNA was matched to previously convicted murderer, Steven Cunningham, who was presently serving a prison sentence for the death of his girlfriend 's…

2011). Some of the problems with the use of DNA is the possibilities of contamination by the mishandling of the sample, mixing up samples in the lab, this was created due to the backlog, and getting samples from a suspect who is not in any of the databases without violating his or her constitutional rights under the Fourth, Fifth, or Fourteenth Amendment (Dempsey & Forst, 2011).One of the biggest challenges in using DNA evidence is defending it in court against expert witnesses. The…

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…
