Since we allowed this, over 14,000 offences have been successfully matched to over 8,000 suspects including over 100 murders and 100 rapes - and as far as I am aware, no one is on the database for dropping litter!
Rapes occur and victims continue to live in accommodation alongside their abusers.
These rapes (some allegedly involving underaged individuals) are not thoroughly reported on, as the department of immigration is not keeping formal records.
The Association of Chief Police Officers claims that in the four years after the act became law in May 2001, the DNA samples of 8,500 people who were not convicted of an offence were later linked to 14,000 offences, including 114 murders and 116 rapes.
Despite having the biggest DNA database in the world, the proportion of reported rapes that result in a conviction on the charge of rape in Britain is an abysmal 6.5%.
Further, a US-trained battalion in the Democratic Republic of Congo was denounced by the United Nations for committing mass rapes.
The Justice Department estimates that 70% of rapes are unreported.
They record a 2% rise in overall crime levels in England and Wales, including a 32% rise in the number of recorded rapes to 26,703, a 21% increase in violence against the person, and a 14% rise in public order offences.
The statisticians said the increase in the number of recorded rapes and in sexual offences to 53,559, the highest level recorded, "is thought to reflect a greater willingness of victims to come forward to report such crimes" as well improvements in recording practices.
The Stern review on rape reporting suggested that only 11% of rapes even get reported to the police.
The number of rapes in the country rose by more than a third.
