Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In recent years, law enforcement has solved and prevented numerous crimes with help from databases of criminals’ DNA. Now a new Senate bill proposes to expand federal data collection to include suspects arrested or detained, but not convicted. Join Kojo for a discussion on the limits of genetic privacy and the future of DNA databases.
