ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

National forensic DNA databases are a valuable investigative tool, that have the potential to increase the efficacy of criminal investigations. Their unfettered expansion in recent years raises unsettling ethical issues that require close attention. DNA database expansion threatens the rights to privacy, non-discrimination, and equality, and can undermine public trust in government. This perspective piece relies on data from an international mapping study of Forensic DNA Databases to document the expansion of these databases, highlight the ethical issues they raise, and propose key recommendations for more responsible use of this infrastructure.
