Criminal Investigation Handbook: Strategy, Law, and Science 2022 Edition

Description

Criminal Investigation Handbook has been written for all those responsible for conducting criminal investigations (including the police, federal special agents and investigators, governmental administration and security agencies, prosecutors, defense attorneys, etc) and those who need to understand the activities of the investigative process. These are the individuals and agencies which use these means and products of such investigations in their daily practice. It provides them with practical advice on how best to prepare cases for ultimate presentation in court and makes them aware of the most likely points at which their evidence is vulnerable and subject to attack. The Handbook answers not only the basic interrogatives of the investigation field: WHO... WHAT... WHERE... WHEN... and HOW, but, like no other treatise, Criminal Investigation Handbook also further expands and answers the most important question when a criminal investigation is started: WHY?... • WHY should the investigative report be all-encompassing? • WHY should the investigator consider the actions of the entire criminal justice system and look at the investigation as a process? • WHY does the investigator need to understand the value and principles of the forensic sciences and the capabilities of the crime laboratory? • WHY should the investigation begin with a strategic view of the end of the judicial process? This Handbook combines the in-depth analysis of a treatise with the how-to and why-to assistance of a practical guide. It aspires to be both substantive and practical. Suggestions are made herein as to the most effective way to proceed in investigating a criminal case, what evidence is the most probative not only from the perspective of satisfying the essential elements of the crime charged, but also from the point of view of convincing the judge or jury that the accused is guilty of committing, aiding or abetting, or soliciting the commission of that crime. The Handbook focuses on: • Investigative Protocol • Collecting, Preparing and Preserving Physical Evidence • Interviewing Witnesses • Documenting the Investigation and the Investigation Case File • Scientific Laboratory Examination Requirements • Forensic Interviewing of Suspects • Identifying and Eliminating Weaknesses in the Investigative Process • Current Uniformed Crime Report (UCR) Statistics • Developing a Strategic View of the Whole Investigative Process
