DNA is the genetic makeup of every human. It is VERY similar, but still different. It is original and unique to every person, therefore it can be used to identify someone. If i were to leave a strand of my hair (a DNA sample) someone could find out who i was through the strand of hair i left behind. It is useful in criminal justice because it can be used to identify a person in a crime. or to prove that a person was at a crime scene :) Hope this helped!
