Assignment Details
The value of class physical evidence lies in its ability to corroborate events with data in a manner that is, as nearly as possible, free of human error and bias. As the number of objects linking an individual to a crime scene increases, so does the likelihood of that individual's involvement with the crime. A person may be exonerated or excluded from suspicion if physical evidence collected at a crime scene is found to be different from standard or reference samples collected from that subject.
Research the following points and write a 5 to 7 page paper fully explaining each point:
• State and explain 2 reasons why it is important to consider the relevance of scientific evidence before allowing it to be introduced into a criminal case.
• Name 3 forensic databases, and describe the type of information stored in each.
• Explain and describe the difference between the forensic and offender indexes in the CODIS database.
