UNIT 12

Finding the criminal

Pre-reading activity

1. How do the police catch thieves?

2. What is the word for fingerprint in your language?

3. What police TV show do you like? Why?

The police find most criminals because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery, the police first look through their computers for the names of bank robbers they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in jail. They ask them where they were at the time of the robbery. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.

Many criminals leave something of themselves at the place of the crime like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or a hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.

Everyone's DNA is different in the same way that their fingerprints are different. Therefore, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves a hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them one of his hairs or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in jail today because of this kind of evidence.

New words

criminal: The police caught the criminal as she was leaving the bank.

science: Science helps us to know how and why things work.

robbery: In a robbery last night, thieves stole thousands of dollars.

fingerprint: The thief cleaned his fingerprints off the doors and windows.

DNA: We get some DNA from our mother and some from our father.

evidence: Tom is in jail because of Mrs. Smith's evidence.
