Forensic Genetics To understand what Forensic Genetics is you first have to know what each term means. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (2015) states that Forensics is the application of scientific knowledge and/or methods to legal problems and in solving crimes. Forensics is used in many different ways, from identify people through DNA or fingerprints to examining hair and different substances. It has been around for a long time, with some methods dating back to the 13th century (Kennedy 2013).…

Full metal jacket is the best anti-war movie I have ever seen. As soon as the movie started, it depicted the real struggle of being in marines. I was shocked how recruits were verbally and physically abused believed to be as a part of preparation of getting into marine as a rough and tough. The scene in which Pyle shot General and himself made me really upset and scared at the same time. It made me feel that the bully and abuse in the platoon ended life of Pyle. The scene in which all recruits…

Forensic evidence has been around for centuries. Whether it is using things like fingerprints or soil samples, it has been a significant form of support to find and convict criminals. Only recently, though, has DNA analysis become a major part of the forensic evidence process. The goal of this paper is to discuss how DNA analysis can be applied to dental, hair, and blood evidence to solve crimes; also, the importance of an accurate and detailed chain of custody log will be shown. The standard…

DNA evidence has become more advanced and accurate means of identification. Everyone has his or her own unique DNA and no two sets are alike. With modern advances small samples many years old can now be identified breathing new life in cold cases and in some cases set innocent men and women free by clearing their name (Dempsey & Forst, 2011). This has created a backlog of cases both old and new. With a limited number of qualified labs it has led to mix up between cases. DNA has been a…

Interdisciplinary Paper Whether it was the war in Vietnam, the Civil Rights movement, the second-wave of feminism, or Watergate, the sixties were an extremely influential time that molded young Americans’ outlook on society and the future. As time passes, how people view society changes and depends on the events of their youth. I hypothesize that because of the events of their youth, the young generation of the sixties developed an increasingly negative and cynical outlook on mankind and the…

Anderson argues that remembering and forgetting is integral to society as he believes the organization of memory requires organized forgetting. Both Gyori and Anderson’s reasonings are illustrated in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, an American war film centered around the Vietnamese…

The sensationalism of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) brought on by television and the media has captured the attention of many around the world. The actual inner workings of DNA analysis and its use in the judicial system however, is quite complex. From its infancy until now, DNA use in forensics has grown into something that has become quite beneficial to the court system. Many a jury, lawyer, judge, and person involved in criminal proceedings has been affected by the use of DNA evidence. The…

DNA is used to determine paternity test, figuring out deformities in human beings, and even figuring out someone’s ancestry background. But, in the criminal justice field they use DNA for identifying criminals or victims with accurate biological evidence (2014). I do feel DNA testing should always be mandatory. I believe this because when DNA is collected during an arrest this could help take a criminal off the streets and placed in prison or jail. Every crime committed can provide the right…

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material that carries the genetic instructions being used in growth, development and reproduction of all living things. DNA has regions called genetic polymorphisms that are used to determine paternity/maternity, kinship, determination of human remains, and inherited diseases. DNA is an example of what forensic use for evidence in a crime. Using regions in the DNA you can determine a “fingerprint” for an individual that can help in a crime, with this…

Fingerprint evidence is highly accurate in the identification of suspects, because the likelihood of two different people possessing the same set of fingerprints is estimated to be one in 64 billion (Hall, 2015). Therefore, state and federal courts universally accept fingerprint evidence during a criminal trial due to the validated science behind the analysis of fingerprint characteristics (Hall, 2015). Next, as with everything else in law enforcement, computers have advanced fingerprint…
