France is an example of another government with its own national DNA database. Their database was created in 1998, and is referred to as the Automated National File of Genetic Prints(FNAEG). This database was made for the sole purpose of stopping child sex offenders. Hit with an increasing number of unsolved sex offender cases, France acted quickly to begin entering convicted offender profiles into a database. In 1998, the French enacted the Guigou Law, which mandated that all sex offender profiles be entered in the database. Eventually the database uses expanded to other crimes. 1, record 1, English, - Automated%20National%20File%20of%20Genetic%20Prints
