Angela Heanor, Derbyshire Angela was arrested and had a DNA sample taken after being accused of stealing

a 60 football. She was reported to the police by her neighbour who claimed his sons had kicked the ball into her garden. Despite insisting she had never seen the ball, police officers took her into custody in August 2006. They also scoured her garden and rifled through drawers and cupboards. The theft case was later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service - but Angela is still waiting to learn if her genetic profile has been destroyed. a) Do you think Angelas DNA should be kept on the National DNA Database?

Yes, because in this case Angela and everyone are affected by crime - if not directly, then indirectly, through the greater security measures that they have to take - or pay for - and through the terribly negative effects that crime has on everyone's psyche.With a national DNA database reducing crime, the size of the police force could be dramatically reduced and so could the whole of the criminal justice system.

b) How do you think Angela and her family might feel if her genetic profile was kept by the police? If they think Angela was not do the crime, I think its not problem for them to take Angela DNA c) Do you think the police should take and store DNA and fingerprints from other people living in the street? Yes of course, therere many people could did this criminal case, if the police didnt have enough evidence or witness, they should take another people who living in the street.
