Title: DNA Retention Policy: Results of Analysis Relating to the Protections of ‘the Scottish Model’

Summary: This paper presents the results of the analysis on the protections provided by the Scottish policy on DNA retention. The analysis considered the length of time for which the offending risk of a group of individuals who might be subject to the retention policy is above the level observed in the general population. This was taken to provide an initial indication of the retention period which might be prima facie justified on this restricted criterion. Factors such as the costs of retention and the non-quantifiable effects on individual privacy would be expected to point towards a shorter, rather than longer, retention period, especially where statistical error gave a range of possible retention periods to be considered. Due to a lack of suitable information, it was not possible to consider these factors formally as part of the analysis.
