DNA profiling in forensic science
Since 1986, DNA profiling techniques have been increasingly used in forensic science. While there is no dispute over the ability of this test to provide very strong evidence of guilt or innocence, debate continues over its effective use, quality control and the use of the information generated
This POSTnote reviews the current status of DNA profiling and highlights some of the issues which arise from its use in criminal cases.
