Are you aware that in those police stations where there have been rapid systems to get fingerprint identification, to get DNA identification it has had a noticeable effect on the way in which those who are detained respond. What they are starting to say is once they know that their identity will be properly identified and it will be clear to the police who they actually are, as opposed to who they say they are, they are then admitting both their identity and also their involvement in a series of previous offences.
