DNA Profiling and Its Impact On Law Enforcement

            DNA has freed many wrongly convicted criminals, locked up murders and rapist and criminals
            
             of lesser crimes. Crime Investigators owe it to DNA to making their job so much simpler and
            
             accurate, they can place a certain person and a scene in a instant. DNA was the help all
            
             court rooms were looking for, so that the right criminal would receive the penalty they
            
             deserve while the good man walks away. Sure a murder weapon and some words can prove
            
             a lot, but DNA can place a person there and go into simpler little details.
            
             DNA profiling is a common word in courtrooms these days, if your lawyer defending a murder
            
             chances are you'd be wishing you'd have a strand of DNA. DNA is basically foolproof all you
            
             need to do is link a certain person to the scene then you got them there and find a motive
            
             and your all set.
            
             DNA also known as Deoxyribonucleic acid is defined as a nucleic acid consisting of large
            
             molecules shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information.
            
             Some may think right away it shouldn't be hard to catch criminals with DNA, however not all
            
             states or provinces use DNA profiling. The cost is to high for some places, other places just
            
             don't have the technology and of course some do have DNA profiling but don't have a lot of
            
             specimens in their system which usually means they need the suspect to give a DNA sample
             (See figure 1)
             then compare to the ones found as the scene of the crime.
            
             Deoxyribonucleic acid, is a natural for crime-solving. It holds an individual's unique genetic
            
             code and is carried in most body cells. Patterns in DNA often are present in blood, semen and
            
             other evidence left at the scenes of violent crimes. (See Figure 2)
            
             But don't understand this wrong, im sure everyone has seen an episode of either Law and
            
             Order or CSI , I personally watch both those shows everyday. They make DNA test...
