THE ROLE OF DNA PROFILING IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION

DNA profiling has attracted a good deal of public attention in the last eight years. The practical application of DNA technology to the identification of biological material has had a significant impact on forensic biology, because it enables much stronger conclusions of identity or non-identity to be made. Legislation regulating the taking of blood samples from suspects has been enacted in Victoria (Crimes (Blood Samples) Act 1989; Crimes Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 1991), and further amendments are proposed. Databases of DNA profiles are being compiled as an aid to criminal intelligence. Faced with powerful incriminating evidence, defendants are often persuaded to change their plea or else mount a legal challenge to the admissibility of DNA profiling.
