Campaign group reveals child suspect DNA figures <\/p>\n

12:10am Monday 20th May 2013 in News <\/p>\n

Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform <\/p>\n

DORSET Police take DNA samples from an average of seven children every week, figures released today reveal. <\/p>\n

Penal reform charity the Howard League have published figures showing that 355 boys and girls aged 17 or under had swabs taken from them in 2011. <\/p>\n

Three of the children were aged 10 and 11. <\/p>\n

Chief executive of the charity Frances Crook said many of the children were having their DNA taken needlessly. <\/p>\n

She said: When public money is tight and police forces are shrinking, it is disappointing to see valuable crime-fighting resources being wasted on taking DNA samples from thousands of innocent children while serious offences go undetected. <\/p>\n

Children who get into trouble with the police are usually just up to mischief. <\/p>\n

Treating so many like hardened criminals by taking their DNA seems excessive. <\/p>\n
