DNA Evidence
The topic of DNA is so thoroughly linked to forensic science, that it is assumed in almost every violent crimes case.
A reflection of its ubiquity may be that this section of the bibliography contains the largest number of citations. This section
primarily addresses human DNA; however; plant and non-human animal DNA are increasingly playing part in criminal
investigations. Conservation Agents often use DNA to solve pouching cases, and plant DNA has been used to identify or
link illicit drug evidence such as marijuana to scenes and suspects.
This is perhaps the single most cross-referenced category of the bibliography. One can understand why since almost
every material at a crime scene may hold viable DNA evidence as a substrate or questioned sample. For example the soil in a
grave from which a body was moved could contain decompitus bearing the victim's DNA; the thorns of a bush which
scratched a subject while he disposed of a body could bear his DNA; biting insects have been found to contain viable
amounts of DNA related to victims or suspects; and firearms might hold the DNA from the individuaul how gripped the gun
while the barrel contains victim blood or tissue blown back toward the gun and suspect. This category also includes
references which are, or could be included in that of Geoarchaeology and Soil Science or Excavation and Recovery
Strategies. Many examples, such as Burger (2002) or Stone and Stoneking (1999) discuss the identification of ancient DNA
in spite of the burial of the substrates or their exposure to the elements.
The refinement of DNA technology continues to require smaller and smaller amounts of material for examination.
Likewise, age and contamination issues are addressed in many citations. Proper collection techniques are not only topics of
some references below but also in general crime scene investigation references contained in General Crime Scene and
Death Scene Investigation Topics.
