5 National Database Implementation Countries National Database Implementation Countries Legislation passed June 2014 Limited to more serious crimes Implementation timelines? Italy Legislation passed in 2009 Minister of Justice declares implementation in 2015 Greece Legislation passed in 2009 Implementation plans uncertain Ireland

6 National Database Implementation Countries National Database Implementation Countries Parliament passed database legislation – September 2014 Implementation schedule is unknown DNA infrastructure for national database is limited South Africa Database legislation passed in late 2013 Lab construction underway to handle new samples created by legislation Bangladesh Implementation expected in 2016

7 National Database Implementation Countries National Database Implementation Countries Regulations requiring the collection of DNA from all people indicted for a crime was approved in 2006 Implementation activity is unknown Malta No information about legislation or implementation Bulgaria

8 Significant Pilot Countries Significant Pilot Countries Large prisoner pilots Arrestee testing legislation under discussion Vietnam Large prisoner pilots Arrestee testing legislation under discussion Mexico Multiple Mexican states operate stand alone databases Crime pressure forcing discussion of national database program Thailand CODIS agreement signed with FBI – March 2015

9 Significant Pilot Countries Significant Pilot Countries Stake of Punjab (Lahore) has created a database of 5,000 prisoners & suspects No national database discussion Saudi Arabia Pakistan Legislation under discussion Notable unofficial database

10 Other Countries with Active Legislation Discussions Underway Other Countries with Active Legislation Discussions Underway Solid DNA infrastructure in government labs Ministry of Justice’s Legal Medicine positioned to lead database effort, not Turkish police India Legislation in process and expected to pass in 2015 Turkey Disagreement on who will operate the database has caused delays Legislation under discussion in the Peruvian Congress Legislation likely in 2016 Peru

11 Other Countries with Active Legislation Discussions Underway Other Countries with Active Legislation Discussions Underway Arrestee testing legislation – Introduced April 2015 Philippines National Police (PNP) is actively building the DNA infrastructure Philippines CODIS installed at PNP in 2014

12  Many of the remaining 117 countries will face challenges to develop databases 2015-2025 Predictions 80 Countries, 100–150 Million Profiles Average per capita GDP is below $5,000 USA Crime control low on priority list  Conclusion: Many of the remaining countries will need new methods and reasons to move forward India Indonesia Pakistan Nigeria Bangladesh Mexico Philippines Vietnam Iran Egypt Turkey Thailand Italy South Africa Colombia Kenya Argentina Ukraine Algeria Uganda Morocco Saudi Arabia Peru Venezuela Sri Lanka Kazakhstan Ecuador Greece Ireland Botswana

13 European databases continue to grow slowly under existing legislative authority. Unlike other regions of the world, European countries are not pursuing legislative expansion to increase database size. Little government or NGO advocacy exists to pursue expansion.
