Define innocent定义无辜

A common question is how many of these individuals are innocents.一个共同的问题是有多少人无辜者。 This is particularly difficult to find out.这是特别难找到了。

First, the National DNA Database was allegedly never set up to record this information; this is in the Police National Computer (PNC).首先，全国DNA数据库，据说从来没有设立这一信息的记录，这是警方在全国计算机（民警） 。

Second, what is meant by innocent is not always consistent; the obvious definition of all those never charged and those acquitted may not map directly to the information available.第二，是什么意思无辜并不总是一致的;明显的定义，所有这些从来没有落案起诉，无罪释放那些可能无法直接映射到现有的资料。 The NPIA ran a report on 2008-03-31: NPIA跑的一份报告， 2008年3月31日：

From the above table it can be deduced that, as of March 2008, there were DNA profiles for at least 573,639 innocent individuals and possibly for as many as 857,366 innocents.从上述表格可以推断出，截至2008年3月，有DNA图谱至少573639无辜的个人，并可能多达857366无辜者。 Fourteen to 21 per cent of the sampled individuals recorded in the NDNAD are innocent. 14至21日百分之采样记录在个人的NDNAD是无辜的。 Furthermore, that does not take into account any此外，不考虑任何 mistakes错误 in the PNC.在民警。

What happens to the DNA samples and profiles of all those innocents?会发生什么变化的DNA样本和简况所有这些无辜者？ Most of them are kept and retained forever.他们多数是保存和保留下去。 The procedure to get off the NDNAD is complex and assume that one case is considered exceptional enough to justify such a procedure in the first place.该程序下车NDNAD是复杂的，假设一个案例被视为例外足够的理由这样的程序摆在首位。

See El Reg ’s 萨尔瓦多雷见之 How to delete your DNA profile如何删除您的DNA图谱 for more on this.更多的关于这一点。 (Note that the only process map the Metropolitan Police has published since is a （请注意，只有进程地图警视厅已出版以来是一个 rehash翻版 of the usual guidelines and the Specialist Crime Directorate 12 wrote that ‘[t]here is no additional information I can supply on this subject’.)通常的指导方针和犯罪专家局12日写道， ' [吨]在这里没有更多的信息我可以提供关于这一问题的。 ）

The huge difference in numbers between removals of samples taken England & Wales forces and by other forces is due to differences between English & Welsh and Scottish laws.巨大的差异之间的数字清除样本英格兰和威尔士部队和其他部队是由于英语之间的差异与威尔士和苏格兰的法律。 DNA profiles and samples of innocents taken by Scotland forces can’t be kept forever. DNA图谱并样本，所采取的无辜苏格兰部队不能保持下去。

Whether England and Wales forces can keep stalling on the removal of DNA profiles (and destruction of DNA samples) of innocents has gone all the way to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights:无论是英格兰和威尔士的力量能保持拖延拆除DNA图谱（和破坏的DNA样本）的无辜了所有的方式向大庭欧洲人权法院：

“The [Marper and S v. UK] case concerns the decision to continue storing fingerprints and DNA samples taken from the applicants after unsuccessful criminal proceedings against them were closed.” The “在[ Marper和S诉英国]案件涉及决定继续储存的指纹和DNA样本取自失败后，申请人提起刑事诉讼它们被关闭。 ”该 hearing听证会 was in February and the ruling will be given later this year.在2月和执政党将在今年晚些时候。 (Note that the adjusted figure for 2008 is based on data up to September adjusted for the rest of the year.) （请注意，调整后的数字为2008年的基础数据调整至9月，在余下的一年。 ）

I did not request the data for calendar additions to the NDNAD, but to put things in perspective, the yearly average number of subject profiles added to the NDNAD for the the financial years 2005-07 was 711,645 (我没有要求的数据为历年增加的NDNAD ，而是把事情的角度看，每年平均人数主题简介加入NDNAD的财政年度2005-07是711645 （ NPIA NDNAD Annual report NPIA NDNAD年度报告 data).数据） 。 For England and Wales forces it was 646,767 (John Reid in对于英格兰和威尔士的力量是646767 （约翰里德在 Parliament written answers议会的书面答复 ). ） 。

Profiling at a young age仿形在年轻时

There’s particular concern as to how many young individuals are included in the NDNAD.有特别令人关注，因为有多少年轻的个人被列入NDNAD 。 Depending on whether you consider the NDNAD as a criminal database, being included in it at a young age is worrying.根据您是否考虑NDNAD作为犯罪数据库，被列入它在年轻时是令人担忧的。

The England & Wales forces again lead in in their aggressiveness to sample DNA.英格兰和威尔士部队再次率先在其侵略性的DNA样品。 Six pe rcent of all the profiles in the NDNAD were taken by other forces, but only three percent of the DNA profiles of subjects 10 to 17 years old (when the report was ran) was for samples taken by other forces.六体育rcent的所有剖面NDNAD采取了其他部队，但只有百分之三的DNA图谱的科目10至17岁（当时该报告是然）为样本所采取的其他部队。

The NPIA last ran a more complete report concerning 10-17 year-olds on 2008-04-10:去年的NPIA了一个更完整的报告中关于10-17岁的年轻人在08年4月10日：

(The number of those with a PNC record is one less that the estimated total number of individuals. The NPIA did not state if there’s one youngster with a PNC record already removed, which is unlikely or whether this should be viewed as a statistical error). （人数那些有民警纪录是少了一个，估计总人数的个人。的NPIA没有说明如果有一个年轻的民警纪录已经删除，这是不太可能，或是否应被视为统计错误） 。 From the above table, it can be seen that at least 39,095 innocent youngsters are affected.从上述表格中，可以看出，至少有39095无辜的青少年受到影响。

If you happen to live in England or Wales, being young or innocent, or both, is not enough to ensure you won’t be captured in this massive database.如果你碰巧生活在英格兰或威尔斯，被年轻的或无辜的，或者两者是不够的，以确保您不会在被抓获的这个大规模的数据库。 ®

Bootnote

It can be argued that retaining DNA profiles of individuals is not even effective in solving crimes.可以说，保留DNA图谱的个人甚至不能有效解决的罪行。 Helen Wallace, from GeneWatch, debunked this assumption last year when looking at海伦华莱士，来自GeneWatch ，揭穿这一假设去年看 who should be on the NDNAD谁应该对NDNAD : ：

“Collecting more DNA from crime scenes has made a big difference to the number of crimes solved, but keeping DNA from more and more people who have been arrested - many of whom are innocent - has not. “收集更多的DNA提取犯罪现场取得了很大的不同数量的罪行解决，但维持的DNA ，越来越多的人谁已被逮捕-其中许多人是无辜的-事实并非如此。 Since April 2003, about 1.5 million extra people have been added to the Database, but the chances of detecting a crime using DNA has remained constant, at about 0.36%.” 2003年4月以来，约150万人口已添加到数据库，但机会犯罪侦查用DNA一直保持不变，约为0.36 ％ 。 “
