NIJ has a new publication on the DNA kit backlog, The Road Ahead: Unanalyzed Evidence in Sexual Assault Cases (PDF). From the Introduction: “Untested sexual assault evidence is being discovered in police evidence rooms all across the country. In this report, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) offers an overview of the issue. We look at a variety of ramifications for the police and crime laboratories, for the courts and for the victims.” (p. iii).
