Combat - Australia - DNA kits to help bus drivers fight crime
Perth, Australia -ABC Online -Sept 17, 2005 :-/ Bus drivers in Perth are to be given DNA kits as a way of combating anti-social behaviour on the city's public transport system... drivers will be trained to gather DNA evidence to help identify and prosecute those responsible for assaulting them... they will be able to take samples of saliva or blood which have been left behind after an attack... "Even if we don't have a match on the DNA, we'll maintain that sample of DNA on our database... in the future that person re-offends and is caught, we'll be able to trace them back to that earlier crime as well"... Mss. Roberts says the jail term for assaulting a driver is up to ten years...
