sourcePerhaps Metro is not a reliable reference for an academic writing, but one of today's article "DNA database 'missing' details of 2.3m criminals" mach with our essay subject of this month regarding the surveillance society.
The journalist Joel Taylor give keys information concerning the national DNA database that can argue against our assignment statement " the advantages of a surveillance society far outweigh the drawbacks".
.
The DNA database contain privet information about people whose samples are registered in. This form of surveillance should be used only for the fight against crime. However, as Joel Taylor highlight, this database detain information about 857000 people without any criminal records and 1million samples are from children. Consequently, some people put the case against this form of surveillance wondering about its real purpose. The European Court of Human Rights might need decide about the legacy of keeping details concerning individuals that "have not been convicted of an offence". In addition, the publisher warn that "details of nearly half of all convicted offenders are not on the DNA database".
