Abstract
Abstract A study was conducted to determine if modern
forensic DNA typing methods can be properly employed
throughout the world with a final goal of increasing arrests,
prosecutions, and convictions of perpetrators of modern
day trafficking in persons while concurrently reducing the
burden of victim testimony in legal proceedings. Without
interruption of investigations, collection of samples containing
DNA was conducted in a variety of settings. Evidentiary
samples were analyzed on the ANDE Rapid DNA
system. Many of the collected swabs yielded informative
short tandem repeat profiles with Rapid DNA technology.
