Abstract
This collection of studies underscores the critical role of nurses in forensic evidence collection, particularly DNA, from crimescene trauma victims. A pervasive theme is the existing gap in nursing knowledge and practices regarding proper evidence collection techniques, which can compromise the integrity of crucial molecular evidence. The need for comprehensive forensic education and specialized training, like for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs), is consistently highlighted to enhance nurses’ ’forensic readiness’. Such training ensures meticulous evidence handling, supports victim advocacy, addresses ethical challenges, and directly impacts successful legal outcomes. Improving nurses’ competency in this domain is vital for preserving genomic and molecular evidence, thereby strengthening justice and enhancing victim care.
