Liz Fulton, Carol Alderman, Carol Sanders 1993 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute INTRODUCTION: Concepts: Cooperative learning Writing skills Organizational skills Data collection Problem solving BIOTECHNOLOGICAL CONNECTIONS: Techniques involved in DNA analysis, blood typing, fingerprinting, skeletal anatomy, chromatography, soil and textile analysis, spectrophotometry TARGET: Grades 6-12 TIME REQUIRED: Minimum of 3 hours but could be expanded to a week or more MATERIALS: Materials may be as simple as a labeled diagram of the skeleton for bone identification or as complex as a gel electrophoresis setup SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Depends on activities selected. Check state guidelines concerning use of body fluids TEACHER PREPARATION: Varies with activities selected. Advance preparation must be made to set up mystery components, expert witness folders, suspect file, and rules for data collection and arrest TEACHER OUTLINE I. OVERVIEW Everyone loves a mystery, so put your students to work using various scientific methods to solve a murder or series of murders. This highly variable activity can be structured to your number of players, time limits, grade level, materials, etc. Solving a murder requires utilization of critical thinking skills that will integrate several science disciplines and flow across the curriculum. Teams investigate evidence from which they must build a logical case to implicate one of several possible suspects. Give students as little direction as possible beyond the original data so they may experience science through discovery.

Unit co-ordinators: Professor Bob Gilkes Pre-requisite Core unit: Environmental scanning electron microscopy as a tool in Forensic Science Please see Note at top of page Conventional SEM requires conductive samples. Most materials require coating to achieve this and this aspect precludes examination of much evidence. The environmental SEM (ESEM) avoids this restriction and can examine wet or dry materials, as presented. This unit provides a full understanding of the operation and application of this relatively new technique to the study of a diverse range of materials. Practical classes are project based, building on knowledge gained from the pre-requisite unit. Unit co-ordinators: Associate Professor Brendon Griffin

Consoli Research, Scholarship at Core It's midnight and the police have arrived at the scene of a bloody murder in an upscale Los Angeles suburb. The bodies of a woman and man lie in the ground-floor entrance of a condominium. The police enter the residence and pick up the phone to call the station. They notice ice cream melting, a candle burning, a bathtub full of water. A horde of investigators and uniformed police haphazardly explore the property. They note blood on the back gate but do not collect a sample that night. Meanwhile, a responding officer has covered the woman's body with a blanket from the house, but the hands of the victims are not wrapped to protect evidence. About seven hours after they arrive on the scene, police call in the medical examiner. At the morgue, the examiner washes blood spatters off the woman's back without photographing or documenting them. Clothing from the second victim is gathered up and packaged with a simple label: "Pants, socks." By the time crime laboratory technicians open one containing a bloody shirt, mold has begun growing on the material.

April 29, 2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Janet D'Alesandro janetd@ajj.com Forensic Nurses Support Clinton Rape Kit Bill PITMAN, NJ A bill introduced on Thursday by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) to increase federal funds for DNA analysis in rape kits is good news for the nurses who care for sexual assault victims. "To get quality forensic care in many parts of the country, you have to be dead," Kathy Bell, president of the International Association of Forensic Nurses said during a Friday press conference in New York City. Bell addressed Clinton and several other legislators who are supporting the DNA bill and similar legislation pending in Congress. "This bill and the related measures now being considered will help ensure proper forensic care for rape victims," Bell told Clinton. "It will also ensure that the evidence collected by qualified sexual assault nurse examiners is not left sitting on shelves." Reports indicate that up to 500,000 rape kits are currently sitting untested in law enforcement offices nationwide, Clinton said. This alarming statistic is "unacceptable," she added, citing a lack of funding and a system that too often fails victims. Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) are forensic nurses who are trained specifically in forensics, law, criminal investigation, documentation, and evidence collection. Their role is crucial, Clinton said, because "They are the people who are on the frontlines of data collection."

PRIVACY AND SECURITY Every effort has been made to balance a suspect's right to privacy with the need for police officers to collect evidence. In accordance with the DNA Identification Act, the RCMP has imposed strict procedures governing the handling of DNA profiles and biological samples to ensure that privacy interests are protected. Information collected by the National DNA Data Bank will be used strictly for law enforcement purposes. All other uses including medical research are strictly prohibited and punishable by law. A National DNA Data Bank Advisory Committee has also been established to advise the Commissioner of the RCMP on matters relating to the establishment and operation of the National DNA Data Bank. The aim of the National DNA Data Bank is to provide an unprecedented investigative tool that will allow police to link crime scenes across jurisdictions and help in apprehending serial and repeat offenders. As well, it can help to focus an investigation by eliminating suspects whose DNA profile is already in the Data Bank, and can eliminate those wrongly suspected. By narrowing the field of suspects and linking crimes early in the investigation or helping to identify suspects, the Data Bank is expected to reduce the length and cost of many investigations. By providing greater certainty in the identity of suspects, it has the potential to reduce the length - and therefore the cost - of trial and to increase the likelihood of conviction.

var loc = "../../../"; Michelle Hibbert Virginia's Story In 1989, the Virginia Division of Forensic Sciences implemented DNA testing in its criminal investigations, becoming the first state crime lab to introduce such a policy. Later that same year, the Virginia General Assembly became the first American legislature to pass laws that required certain classes of offenders to submit DNA samples for inclusion in a DNA databank. This law required certain sex offenders and certain violent felons to provide samples for the databank. However, just one year later, the legislature expanded the law to require that all felons provide samples for inclusion in the state DNA databank and also required that all felons held in Virginia prisons provide samples upon their release. In 1992, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld the constitutionality of Virginia's databasing system. Forty-nine Other States Established Databanks Within Nine Years Within nine years of Virginia's establishment of the first state DNA databank, the other forty-nine states passed laws requiring the collection of DNA samples from certain criminals for the purposes of establishing state DNA databanks. All fifty states require DNA samples from convicted sex offenders, with some states collecting from all classes of felons, as well as certain classes of misdemeanants. Additionally, the FBI estimates that most states will eventually begin to collect DNA from all convicted felons when the cost of collecting and analyzing DNA decreases.

TESTIMONY BY REPRESENTATIVE BENJAMIN A. GILMAN SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY MARCH 23, 2000 I want to thank my friend and colleague, Chairman Bill McCollum, and Ranking Member Robert Scott for addressing the DNA backlog problem and affording me this opportunity to testify today. I want to express my gratitude to Congressmen Bart Stupak and Jim Ramstad, Co-Chairmen of the Congressional Law Enforcement Caucus, for their assistance with this issue and my legislation. In addition, I commend Congressmen Kennedy, Weiner and our fellow panelists for their recognition and attention to this important issue. Permit me to offer a brief outline of the issues and an explanation of H.R. 3375, the Convicted Offender DNA Index System Support Act, the cooperative solution I have proposed to eliminate both DNA backlogs and close the legislative loophole, which presently exempts federal, District of Columbia, and military convicted offenders from participation in the national DNA database. As you are aware, DNA is the unique genetic building block found in every cell of the human body. In 1994,the Congress passed the DNA Identification Act, which authorized the construction of the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), to assist our federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in fighting violent crime throughout the Nation. CODIS is a master database which allows our law enforcement agencies to submit, retrieve and compare DNA samples of convicted offenders and DNA evidence from crime scenes for which there are no suspects.
