Many lawyers are only trained in law and forensic scientists in only sciences. The communication gap between lawyers and forensic scientists needs to be bridged to improve criminal justice delivery!

MEET OUR UGANDAN DNA CRUSADER 🧬🇺🇬

Daniel Adyera lectures forensics, criminology & law in Kampala, and is the Director of the Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy (CCCJP), an independent think tank advancing the use of forensic science in the administration of justice in Uganda.

Daniel is a passionate advocate for the passing of the DNA Bill in Uganda, which does not yet have a DNA database or policy framework regulating the field.

After studying in London and teaching law to inmates and prison staff at a Women Maximum Prison in Uganda, Daniel realised that it was next to impossible to challenge an expert witness evidence without understanding forensic science, so he returned to The Netherlands to get a master in Laws in Forensics & Criminology.

He could then return to Uganda to bridge the forensics and justice gap, by founding the CCCJP. Daniel says, “The most rewarding thing about my job is helping indigent persons and lawyers with forensic legal guidance.”

Daniel Adyera is a great asset to the criminal justice system in his country and we are calling on others in Uganda to join him in creating more awareness around the importance of DNA!

Daniel Adyera we look forward to following your progress! Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy
