Forensic DNA Database Expansion: Growing Racial Inequities, Eroding Civil Liberties and Diminishing Returns, a new report released by Generations Ahead, illustrates how communities of color, immigrants, and youth have become ensnared in a forensic dragnet of local, state, and federal DNA database collection programs.  Despite the growing public demand for a fair, accurate criminal justice system, these databases have exacerbated racial inequities in the criminal justice system.
