		To that end the following is a brief explanation of the process that was first used to bring Colin Pitchfork to justice in 1987 and has been a vital criminal investigation tool ever since.
		Restriction fragment length polymorphism is the process used to identify Colin Pitchfork.
		This approach to DNA profiling can pretty much be summed up, "extract it, chop it, sort it, photograph it." RFLP requires a relatively large sample of DNA - twenty-five or more hairs or a nickel-sized blood or semen stain - and the fresher the better.
