摘要

必须确认身份不明的遗骸和长期失踪人员的身份,使失踪人员能够与家人团聚,这可能会使情况持续不明朗的家庭结案。然而,由于几个原因,身份鉴定仍然存在问题,包括调查中没有提供DNA。本文报道的这项研究是由两部分组成的系列研究中的第二项,探索公众/家庭对LTMP病例提供DNA的支持。在第一项研究中,定量结果显示,当被问及参与者是否认为在LTMP案件中向警方提供DNA会有影响时,他们感到担忧。第二项研究的目的是使用定性方法进一步探索LTMP病例中提供DNA的细微差别和主题。参与者描述了他们在四个假设的LTMP病例场景中对提供DNA的担忧(一个儿童、一个患有痴呆症的成年人、一个离家出走的19岁青少年和一个疏远的成年人)。通过主题内容分析,确定了十个主题。九个主题贯穿所有四个LTMP案例场景。第十个主题只出现在两种情况下;涉及有离家出走史的青少年的案件,以及涉及与家人疏远的成年人的案件。结果显示,公众关注的问题因LTMP案件的具体情况而异。主要调查结果表明,公众对LTMP调查中如何使用DNA进行了教育,制定了与警方在调查中使用DNA有关的适用立法,并提高了公众对LTMP-调查中使用脱氧核糖核酸的好处的认识。讨论了可能指导未来在不同类型的LTMP案件中发展细致入微的警察实践的潜在政策选择。

Public/family concerns for providing DNA in missing persons cases: Paper 2: The main concerns raised and implications for policing policy

Identification of unidentified human remains, and long-term missing persons (LTMP) is imperative, allowing for missing persons to be reunited with their families, which could provide closure to families experiencing ongoing ambiguity surrounding the situation. However, identification remains problematic for several reasons, including the absence of DNA provision in the investigation. The research reported here is the second in a two-part series exploring public/family support for providing DNA in LTMP cases. In the first study, quantitative results showed that participants had concerns when asked if they thought there would be implications for a person providing DNA to police in LTMP cases. The aim of this second study was to explore further using qualitative methods the nuances and themes underpinning concerns for providing DNA in LTMP cases. Participants described their concerns about providing DNA in four hypothetical LTMP case scenarios (a child, an adult with dementia, a runaway 19-year-old adolescent, and an estranged adult). Through thematic content analysis, ten themes were identified. Nine themes run across all four LTMP case scenarios. The tenth theme was only observed in two scenarios; cases involving adolescents with a history of runaway, and in cases involving adults estranged from their family. Results showed public concerns differed according to LTMP case circumstances. Key findings point to public education about how DNA is used in LTMP investigations, the applicable legislation relating to police use of DNA in investigations and increasing public awareness around the benefits of DNA use in LTMP investigations. Potentional policy options are discussed that could guide the future development of nuanced police practice in different types of LTMP cases.

期刊介绍: Science & Justice provides a forum to promote communication and publication of original articles, reviews and correspondence on subjects that spark debates within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. The journal provides a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. Science & Justice is published six times a year, and will be of interest primarily to practising forensic scientists and their colleagues in related fields. It is chiefly concerned with the publication of formal scientific papers, in keeping with its international learned status, but will not accept any article describing experimentation on animals which does not meet strict ethical standards. Promote communication and informed debate within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. To promote the publication of learned and original research findings from all areas of the forensic sciences and by so doing to advance the profession. To promote the publication of case based material by way of case reviews. To promote the publication of conference proceedings which are of interest to the forensic science community. To provide a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. To appeal to all those with an interest in the forensic sciences.
