  • Q11
    Which is a benefit of storing the genetic information of people who have previously committed a serious crime?
    Offenders can be genetically profiled to determine which type of crime they will commit in the future.
    Offenders can be more easily identified by their genetic information if they commit a crime in the future.
    Offenders can have their genetic information altered so that they are less likely to commit crimes in the future.
    Offenders will be easier for potential victims to identify since their genetic information is on file.
