TOOLKIT

TOPIC

Resolving Cases Without DNA

Add to your Briefcase

DNA evidence is a powerful tool used to solve sexual assault cases. However, research indicates that not every sexual assault kit produces a CODIS-eligible DNA profile. Therefore, it is important to look beyond DNA when investigating sexual assault cases. Non-DNA evidence can provide investigative leads and substantiate facts to move a case forward. Agencies should establish policies that outline investigative steps for cases in which DNA is not present or does not provide a CODIS hit.
