<p>Our group has chosen to do this petition to make DNA testing compulsory because we feel it will help reduce crime and stop some people getting falsely accused. It could reduce all sorts of crimes, such as sexual crimes or murder. If DNA testing was compulsory, it would mean that everyone's DNA would be on the database, which also means that police and forensic teams would be able to find the criminal easier, quicker and more efficiently. This would be effective because if there are fingerprints, saliva, blood, skin, sweat or even a strand of hair at a crime scene, and everyone's DNA was on the database, then police would be able to find the criminal just by getting a little bit of DNA.</p><p>We created a questionnaire for people to voice their opinion, we found out that all of the people we asked said they think it would be effective for catching criminals, and that more than half of the people think that it would also reduce crime. so we believe that we have a solid argument to change the law so that DNA testing compulsory reduces crime, and makes the streets safer.</p>
