CSI: Proving Identity
Proving the identity of a criminal is the end goal of any crime investigation. If the person who commits the crime leaves any traces of DNA such as a hair or a fingerprint they can be much more easily tracked down. Learn how crime scene investigators dust for fingerprints and preserve them as evidence as well as how DNA and fingerprint evidence are used to put criminals in jail and keep innocent people out of jail.
