Abstract

Domestic violence is the abuse of one partner within an intimate or family relationship. It is the repeated, random and habitual use of intimidation to control a partner. Adult most often use it against their intimate partners, such as current or former spouses, sibling and offspring and vice versa. Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, emotional abuse and even murder. The frequency and severity of domestic violence can vary dramatically; however, the one constant component of domestic violence is one partner’s consistent efforts to maintain power and control over the other. In many cases of family violence crimes traces of blood, semen or epithelial cells are left behind on the victim's body, clothes ,nails in which the violence has taken place. Swab samples can be collected as early as possible to increase the chances of identification of the person who committed the crime. And blood sample is collected from the suspected person. DNA of the samples from the victim and the suspect is extracted, amplified and detected revealing DNA profiles which then suspected to interpretation . Once DNA profile has been detected from the samples collected from the victim it is compared to the DNA profile of the suspect to look for a match to determine the inclusion or exclusion of the alleged offender.
