I'm starting an essay/project where I have to describe the impact that DNA evidence has on the criminal justice system. I need several (4 or 5) reputable articles related to this topic. There is a lot of information on the internet, but I really need to focus on articles from a reputable source (government, university, expert in the field, etc.) If anyone could help me find some good ones, I would really appreciate it! Meanwhile, I'll keep looking. Thanks!

This site contains interesting excerpts about early cases from "Convicted by Juries, Exonerated by Science" (National Institute of Justice).

This one has an article titled "The UK National DNA Database: Balancing crime detection, human rights and privacy" written by the Deputy Director of GeneWatch UK.

A U.S. Government site about DNA legislation.

Another one: "The FBI's DNA Program"

Key Dates in the History of DNA Profiling (Australian Government website) might help with timeline info for your essay.

Hope these sites help, and that the sources are reputable enough.

Thanks! Those are just what I was looking for.

I just looked at the Key Dates in the History of DNA Profiling link, and I see that the information has to do with Australia. Do you know where I might be able to find a timeline about DNA evidence in the United States? Thanks!

This page should get you somewhere.

This may also help.

Those links definitely help me out. Thanks again!
