POLICE will have to conduct thousands of DNA tests a year under a state government plan to dramatically increase testing of people convicted of crimes.

However, despite Attorney-General Robert Clark announcing the crackdown - another pillar of the government's tough on law and order campaign - almost two years ago, the new regime will not come into force for at least another year.

''Victoria Police would expect a substantial increase in suspect samples. This will have an impact on caseloads which will be monitored,'' a police spokeswoman said.

In April 2011, Mr Clark said the legislation would allow DNA samples to be taken from anyone convicted of an indictable offence - crimes that attract a jail sentence of two years or more.

At present DNA samples can only be taken from serious criminals such as murderers and rapists, but this would be expanded to include those convicted of assault, threats to kill, stalking, theft and a wider range of drug offences.

The Attorney-General described the proposed laws as a ''vital element in the high-tech fight against crime''. However, a spokesman for Mr Clark said this week the laws are ''expected to be introduced into Parliament later this year''.

A Victoria Police tender document released late last year reveals that the new laws would mean a four-fold increase in the number of mouth DNA swabs police would have to carry out. It says an average of 7300 swabs were carried out every year for the past five years, of which 1500 were for people suspected of crimes. This means the number of tests will balloon to 6000 a year.

''The status of the amendment is cabinet in confidence so unfortunately Logistical Support Branch is unable to provide further information. What we do know is that if the bill is passed, there will be a 12-month period between passage and implementation,'' the tender document says.

Delay in DNA testing of criminals

CINCINNATI - A year-old program testing key evidence obtained from rape victims is just beginning to identify suspects whose DNA has been sitting on shelves in so-called "rape kits" for years.

An investigation conducted by Scripps station Newsnet5 found more than 2,000 rape kits have been turned over to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for sophisticated testing that identify suspects whose DNA is already on file.

The program was launched a year ago by Attorney General Mike DeWine, but only now has begun to swing into full gear -- identifying 28 suspects using DNA obtained from rape victims.

Since January 2012, forensic scientists have tested 479 of 2,124 "rape kits" that were collected in the hours after an attack, but that sat for years on shelves in police departments across the state -- often because testing was too expensive.

"Nothing ever works as fast as I want it to work," DeWine said.

The DNA testing program required hiring additional forensic scientists and establishing procedures for testing, while at the same time trying to avoid creating additional backlogs of current cases.

"What I did not want to do," DeWine said," is take these back rape kits, dump them into our system without any new people -- and create an even bigger backlog for a rape that was committed five days ago when we are actively seeking to find out who that person was."

The investigation found huge numbers of rape kits collected from police department all over Ohio, including nearly 340 cases in Cincinnati.

Amanda Slone was a teenager when she was raped by a suspect four years ago who still has not been identified. Once honored by Ohio's legislature for her volunteer work with disabled children, Slone agreed to come forward to encourage testing on behalf of other rape victims.

A citation from Ohio's Senate honored her for "making the world a better place" -- yet her world was shattered by an unknown rapist.
