Are Forensic Tests Accurate And Ethical?

DNA forensic tests are not always accurate and ethical due to faulty data such as lab fraud and fudging caused by CODIS, a DNA forensics database. Not to mention degrading loci samples,Forensics based entirely on probability,and cross contamination can lead to inaccurate results. Institutionalized racism is another problem that comes with DNA Forensics due to the fact that DNA databases are often biased towards people of color and immigrants. Ethical concerns of DNA Forensics are that DNA evidence is being used against people that have not been convicted. DNA evidence being used mostly to report crimes of theft and not crimes of murder and rape. DNA evidence being used as accusations of rape when the sexual intercourse was agreed to. Also, police gathering information from non-criminal databases.
