National Survey of DNA Crime Laboratories, 2001
Description
This study contains data from a survey of publicly operated
forensic crime labs that perform deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
testing. The survey was a follow-up to the initial survey of DNA crime
labs in 1998 (ICPSR study 2879). The survey included questions about
each lab's budget, personnel, procedures, equipment, and workloads in
terms of known subject cases, unknown subject cases, and convicted
offender DNA samples. The survey was sent to 135 forensic laboratories,
and 124 responses were received from individual public laboratories and
headquarters for statewide forensic crime laboratory systems. The
responses included 110 publicly funded forensic laboratories that
performed DNA testing in 47 states.
