It is used to help catch criminals because a section of DNA is taken and then matched with the person. It can also not work in some instances because inoccent people can be put in jail for something they did not do.
Everyone has their own unique DNA fingerprint. DNA is mixed with some kind of chemical (I'm afraid I don't know the specifics) which creates a unique image that slightly resembles a barcode.

The DNA fingerprint is used in many fields. DNA fingerprints are commonly used in forensic science. Also, the Human Genome Project utilized DNA fingerprints to map the entire human genome.

Selected fragments are used to produce a DNA fingerprint.
A DNA fingerprint is a unique pattern of DNA fragments that can be used to identify individuals.
DNA fingerprint
The parts must be unique to the person
no its classed as a making of your body for people such as police or crime scene investigators
DNA is similar to a fingerprint in that it is unique to each individual and can be used to identify and distinguish one person from another. Just as a fingerprint is a distinctive mark on a person's skin, DNA is a distinct genetic code that is specific to each person.
A DNA fingerprint refers to the fact that a person's DNA code is as unique to that person as his/her fingerprint. A person can be implicated for a crime or ruled out as the criminal based on his/her DNA code.
A DNA fingerprint is really all the genes that are found in in your chromosomes. No two are ever alike except for identical twins (or triplets).

A method known as RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis can be used to make a DNA fingerprint.
