Dna forensic data bank, facts and perception: The Italian experience / L. Luparia, G. Gennari, L. Salvaderi. - In: FORENSIC SCIENCE INTERNATIONAL. - ISSN 0379-0738. - 354:(2024 Jan), pp. 111907.1-111907.6. [10.1016/j.forsciint.2023.111907]
Abstract:
In 2016 the Italian National Dna database for forensic purposes finally went live. After seven years of “operational
life”, numbers and results are still scarce. The aim of the study is to evaluate the actual knowledge and
perceived usefulness of this investigative tool among a significant sample of Italian magistrates. The research was
conducted through the administration of an anonymous structured questionnaire to magistrates belonging to the
Court of Milano. The overall picture emerging from the questionnaire is a worrying lack of preparation regarding
the functioning of the Dna database among judges and public prosecutors. This situation affects the performance
of the instrument. The authors believe that a specific and compulsory training for magistrates should be
introduced.
