The DNA Crime Solution Evidence • solve a crime • match DNA evidence to suspect Investigation • DNA database of crimes and criminals • match evidence to convicted offenders Prevention • all evidence: property crime, sexual assault, … • all criminals: felonies, misdemeanors, … • DNA databases interrupt criminal careers

The DNA Evidence Problem Most DNA evidence is uncertain, producing uncertain genotypes • mixtures: two or more contributors • degraded or damaged DNA • low template DNA amounts

An Interim Approach Apply "thresholds" to the quantitative data • peak height: variation vs. absolute • variance scaling: linear vs. constant • data: distribution vs. false negative • probability: concentrate vs. disperse • information: preserve vs. discard • identify: succeed vs. fail • protect: better vs. worse

Probabilistic Science Classical Physics Quantum Mechanics interim solution (1913): electron in an orbital true solution (1925): electron with a probability
