국문요약


오늘날 과학수사는 범죄수사 기법의 중심으로 자리 잡고 있다. 과학수사의 창시자라고 할 수 있는 19세기 말의 Hans Gross 이래 100여년이 흐른 오늘날 과학수사 기법은 눈부실 정도로 발전하여 과학수사 없는 수사는 존재하지 않을 정도로 범죄수사의 필수적인 부분이 되었다. 본 연구는 오늘날 과학수사의 핵심이 되고 있는 DNA 지문 감식수사에 관련된 지식과 다양한 분석기법을 우선적으로 살펴보았다. 특히 DNA지문 분석기법은 제한한효소 절편 길이 다형성(RFLP), 중합효소 연쇄반응기법(PCR), STR 다중 PCR기법 등으로 발전을 거듭하고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. PCR기법은 오염된 시료, 질이 떨어지는 시료, 비듬 같은 미세증거물에서 DNA를 검출할 수 있는 놀라운 변화를 가져왔다. 또한 세포의 핵 DNA가 아닌 세포질 속의 미토콘드리아 DNA 지문 분석기법은 DNA 검출의 새로운 지평을 열고 있다. 따라서 DNA 지문 검출과 관련된 생체시료의 종류와 범위가 확대되었다는 사실에 대한 재 검토가 요구된다. 또한 오늘날 DNA 지문은 강력범죄뿐만 아니라 형사사건 전체에 까지 범죄의 입증에 유력한 증거로 채택되고 있다. 따라서 미국을 비롯한 외국에서는 DNA 데이터베이스 시스템을 구축하여 범죄수사의 효율화를 기하고 있다. 우리나라도 2009년 5월29일 「DNA 신원확인정보의 이용 및 보호에 관한 법률」을 입법 예고함으로써 DNA데이터베이스 시스템의 구축을 위한 법제화를 시도하고 있다. DNA 데이터베이스는 인권침해의 부작용과 같은 단점보다는 재범의 위험률이 높은 연쇄살인이나 강간 같은 강력범죄 예방이나 범인검거에 효율적이라는 장점이 더 큰 것으로 분석된다.

Nowadays Criminalistics is acknowledged on the important parts of criminal investigation. Since Hans Gross emphasized scientific crime detection, one hundred years passed. Then the method for criminalistics was developed brilliantly. Crime investigation without criminalistics is to be the core of crime detection so much that is not acknowledged as crime investigation. Advancements in forensic DNA technology have led to a significant increase in the number of sample collected during crime scene investigations. This papers studied the knowledge and analytic method concerned to DNA fingerprints identification specifically. The true nature of DNA, the extraction and quantification of DNA, various methods of DNA fingerprints developed recently was inquired systematically. The most crucial role in the examination of biological evidence is its method of collection and preservation. The integrity of forensic evidence has always been the burden of the crime scene investigator. But in these days the methods for DNA fingerprints are more and more developed to STR (Short Tandem Repeat) multiplex PCR(Polymerase Chin Reaction) and mitochondrial DNA analysis through RFLP(Restricted Fragments Length Polymorphism). Consequently the integrity and size of biological evidence is not problem to extract DNA fingerprints. As the use and success of DNA evidence has spread throughout the criminal justice system, a new application of the technique is rapidly being adopted in many investigations. Namely low copy DNA evidence is being collected and processed in nonviolent property crimes. Formerly, DNA was sought and compared only in major violent crimes because of the necessary large quantity of blood and other biological materials needed for laboratory testing. New technique now allow criminalists to compare far fewer cells for successful match. Accordingly very minute materials like dandruff, contaminated evidence, corrupted evidence, and obsolete genetic materials can now be utilized. Also hairs without hair root can be used to extract DNA. DNA database system is utilized to identify suspects by collecting crime evidence in crime scene. Many nations with USA is establishing DNA database system. In the case of USA, the national DNA database known as the Combined DNA Index System(CODIS) expanded nationally as a result of the 1994 DNA Identification Act(Public Law 103 322) giving the FBI legal authority to establish a DNA database for the nation`s criminal justice system. Today all 50 states participate in the CODIS program, which is composed of two main DNA indices: a forensic index that contains DNA profiles developed from crime scene-related evidence and a convicted offender index containing DNA profiles from qualified convicted offenders. A convicted offender recorded into CODIS an individual who has been sentenced in guilty in court finally. In Korea, May 29th 2009 year, Korea parliament and government noticed previously the legislation concerned the utilization and protection of DNA individual identification information. A qualified convicted offender in Korean. A scope of crime contained in DNA database system is very broad to extent that includes ① murder, ② rape·sexual harrassment, ③ robbery, ④ arson, ⑤ drugs, ⑥ kidnap, ⑦ capture and confinement, ⑧ habitual violence, ⑨ organizational violence, ⑩ sexual violence against youth. A qualified convicted offender into DNA database system is prisoner sentenced in guilty from court and suspects who a arrest warrant is granted. Suspects under arrest warrant are not yet sentenced in guilty from court. Consequently this is criticized on the reason that infringe on human rights. But DNA database is effective system in crime investigation in violent crime especially.
