Don't presume to speak for victims because you're painting with too broad of a brush. My sister's killer was convicted and sent to prison. Justice may have been served but for me the day after his conviction was the same as the day before: she was still dead and nothing can change that.
There are too many downsides to putting causal DNA collection into the law enforcement toolkit. Starting with the fact the frankly anything given to law enforcement is often abused and used out of context to the fact that a false positive means anything from financial ruin to possibly a plea bargain for a crime the person didn't commit due to the abusive charge stacking prosecutors use the days.
And although it may feel righteous to you to punish the guilty it should never been done at the cost of due process. We really can't afford the erosion of any more civil liberties, IMHO.
