Introduction

Conducting a successful criminal investigation begins with the ability to carry out an efficient preliminary investigation; from which the major case and criminal investigation are built (Four, Five, & Six, 2015). The effectiveness of an investigation depends on the attitude of the investigating officer, and the guiding principles followed. It is important for officers to select appropriate groundwork procedures that will lead to definitive evidence collection as well as subsequent crime investigation. Most cases are different; therefore, there is no standardized routine for conductive investigations. However, officers should be flexible, creative, and open-minded when following the basic guidelines for conducting ...

When a crime occurs, there is often a limited scope of time in which investigators have a high likelihood of solving the crime itself. Some crimes, like child abductions, have a very distinct frame of time in which the victim is likely to be found alive; however, even in homicides, the sooner the police or investigators begin to solve the crime by following clues, the easier it is for these individuals to discover the truth about what happened to the victim (Fish, Miller, Bramwell, & Wallace, 2013). The clues that the perpetrator or perpetrators leave at a crime scene are ...

Cases of inappropriately handled evidence are of common occurrence. The custodians of evidence in law enforcement agencies are often to blame for the mishandling, misplacing, loss, and destruction of evidence. Sometimes, the custodians do not take the appropriate care of their property rooms. Consequently, problems arise from the lack of accountability for evidence from the initial process of evidence collection through to the documentation process. Hence, it is crucial to document as many details as possible to avoid scrutiny of evidence during the trial process.

Evidence Collection

Collecting evidence in a systematic and careful sequence is crucial. The initial step in ...

Waterborne disease can easily affect children who come in contact with the contaminated water. The swim club manager seemed not very much cooperative during the initial outbreak; but the VHD investigators needed the cooperation of the swim club manager in identifying the real cause of the outbreak. Later, the manager told them that other persons not invited to the February 1 birthday party (members of an infant-mother swim class) got sick ...

Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) refers to a computerized system used to store fingerprint images. Typically, investigators feed new print images into AFIS to identify the best matches. Accordingly, the identification process allows investigators to narrow their search parameters. Usually, AFIS technicians perform the final analyses of retrieved images to maintain accuracy. Prior to the computerization of such systems, the process of comparing fingerprint images was tedious and sometimes inaccurate. The development of AFIS, however, allowed technicians to perform comparisons within minutes and achieve a relatively higher accuracy of image identification.

The case of Meredith Kercher’s murder in Perugia, Italy became a very sensationalist story due to the involvement of an American young woman, Amanda Knox, who represented both America’s sweetheart, being young and beautiful, and Italy’s black widow, due to her associations with sexual promiscuity and drugs. While no clear evidence was ever found to ink her and her Italian boyfriend to the murder, they were imprisoned, together with a Black man, Rudy Guede, whose drug-related activities quickly turned the media against him. In this high-profile case, the issues of privilege and diversity had a great ...

Introduction

In recent decades, trends in diets tailored to promote weight loss have resulted in a significant increase in the intake of protein, particular in people with overweight and obesity issues. Accordingly, researchers have questioned the benefits or risks linked to the habitual consumption of “dietary protein in excess of recommended intakes” (Martin et al., 2005). In general, the primary concern has involved the possibility that diets rich in protein may increase hyperfiltration and, hence, exacerbate renal damage. Nevertheless, the potential link between protein-rich diets and renal damage has also been questioned due to an absence of adequate clinical evidence. ...

Introduction Traditional policing is reactive and action is initiated when crimes or problems are reported. In contrast, community policing is characterized by shifting of focus from crime and law enforcement to finding solutions to community problems like “perceptions of disorder, fear of crime, quality of life and neighborhood conditions” (Kappeler and Gaines 1). The ideal form of community policing empowers the community and, decisions on courses of action are taken in consultation with the community members. The police have to take up additional roles as advisors, facilitators and lead-initiators. They become service providers by escalating ...

It is undeniable fact that cultural differences affect forensic assessment to a greater extent. Because of the cultural inclination, forensic assessment always produces results that are biased towards a particular culture (Fernandez, 2013). It’s worth noting that forensic investigators are members of some cultures; therefore, all their thinking and decision significantly reflects their cultural values. However, it should be pointed out that not all decisions made by forensic assessors are biased towards their culture of origin; consumers of these data must trust them and allow the notion of professionalism to prevail. Forensic investigators are taken through compulsory training ...

Introduction

Blood behavior conforms to specific scientific principles and therefore, professionals trained to perform bloodstain pattern analysis can analyze the blood evidence in a crime scene and come up with conclusions as to how the blood shedding happened. The stains may appear to have a random distribution in a crime scene, but the analysts can study the spatter patterns, transfers, and other marks. From the physical evidence, the investigators recognize and interpret the patterns to determine how they were created. These marks are then categorized to recreate the sequence of events that occurred following the bloodshed. Blood stain pattern analysis, ...

Modus Operandi

Modus operandi as a method of interpreting motive in crime is the most effective because unlike other methods like signature behavior, modus operandi can always evolve across various offenses. A criminal’s modus operandi behaviors are acquired through learning and hence are normally malleable and dynamic (Douglas, & Munn, 1992). On the one hand, this method may mean that criminals are likely to learn more effective skills and use them in future. It is through the repetition of once successful methods that a criminal is likely to provide clues to investigators. However, deteriorating mental ability of criminals may also occur ...

According to Turvey (2000), precautionary acts refer to a criminal offender’s behaviors committed before, during or after the commission of an offense and which are consciously and intentionally intended to defeat, hamper or confuse investigation of the crime. They are acts of staged crime scenes and events that are meant to mislead the authorities and redirect the investigation of the crime and circumstances surrounding the commission of the crime in question. They are simulated acts meant to conceal a crime by interfering with evidence at the crime scene. This makes it difficult for the investigating authorities to come ...

In fact, they need money to meet their gambling, drug and alcohol addiction. Financial gains tend ...

Abstract

Forensic Science has long found important application in a criminal investigation, and its correct usage will enhance its effectiveness in crime detection. The use of forensic science in intelligence has allowed the possibility of crime scene reconstruction, identification of a suspect and the elements therein. Law enforcement has gone a notch higher in crime investigation in the sense that scouring for limited evidence at crime scenes has been made possible long after the perfect crime has taken place. The sole purpose of finding the obscure evidence is to have the criminals responsible brought to book and as a result, ...

(Student’s Full Name) Question: Given our policies relating to national defense and law enforcement and the priority given to homeland security, should privacy rightly be considered a thing of the past?

Privacy Rights are More Important than Law Enforcement, Community Protection, and Domestic Safety

Privacy rights are more important than law enforcement, community protection, and domestic safety because it is considered that “privacy as a basic human good or right with intrinsic value” (Nass et al., 2009, p. 77). This means that privacy is “being objectively valuable in itself” and it is an “essential component of human well-being” (Nass et. al., 2009, p. 77). Therefore, if the privacy rights of an ...

In the past, cyber-crimes were few and far in between because the computers used were mainframes and they were rare to come by (Greenbaum, 2015). Today, computers have infiltrated almost every aspect of life and most offenses are accompanied by the involvement of computerized devices directly or indirectly. Nearly every individual in the world today has an automated electronic device such as a smartphone and a computer (Greenbaum, 2015). Further, the internet has made the use of computerized devices to commit crimes easier, and all types of offenses can be perpetrated online such as fraud, theft, solicitation, malicious mischief ...

Crime scene investigation is an important area of the criminal justice field. The CSI groups are expected to find and collect evidence at crime scenes. They are to follow the guidelines of collecting the evidence and packaging it properly. The proper packaging is to ensure that the evidence stays fresh and does not get contaminated. They then ensure that the evidence is delivered at the proper analyzation and examination teams to further review the evidence. Once the evidence is reviewed and properly understood then the investigators continue with this information to obtain a warrant, capture a suspect, or use ...

The CSI effect is intrigued by many crime scene shows on television. These shows are based on what real crime scenes and investigators go through. They have a similar process to accessing a crime scene and locating evidence in the crime. They portray the shows to have a real life effect on the real cases and situations that investigators deal with. The increase in different versions of these shows is all over the networks. People enjoy watching the real life crime and the drama that it details. What the shows are simulating is that the crimes can be processed, ...

The judicial process in the United States of America has become flawed over the years. This has arisen from the fact that most of the American citizens have come out in large numbers condemning the prosecution and injustice to innocent men and women all over the country. As a result, legal scholars have had to engage with the public over issues such as racism, as well as the general degree of anti-Semitism in a bid to reduce the unlawful prosecution of innocent men and women in the United States. In this light, it is important to analyze the Leo ...

Policing may occur by both private and public investigators. Policing is the maintenance of peace in a community. Security is the goal. Private police originally emerged because the public police could not fulfill all the needs and securities of individuals. Corporations and private landowners were the first to hire private investigators, but today, they are being hired by railroads, airports and even the government. There are very few similarities and many differences between these two types of investigators. The most obvious difference between private and public investigators is the involvement of government: One works for the government and the ...

Abstract

Shortly after WW2, Japan became a place where the Allies put on trial Japanese military criminals of different standing. Overall, the process looked methodical and well-though-out, with an ad hoc classification developed for determining the guilt of offenders. The post-war years witnessed the execution of generals and the punishment of soldiers following their brutal orders. However, several years later, a complex of factors like the deliberate destruction of evidence or the enormous number of cases halted the prosecution process expediting its termination. As unethical and immoral as it was, the USA had its reasons not to prosecute some of ...

The Columbine High School Massacre was the bloodiest school killing spree in the United States of America ever committed. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 of other students, one professor and injured 24, before committing a suicide (Aronson, 2000). The perpetrators had versatile arsenal of weapons and pipe bombs, which, according to the US Security Service estimates was sufficient to kill 200 people (Kass, 2009). Theorists extensively debated about the motives of their attack. Some argued that the reasons were psychological (Atheide, 2009), while others actively advocated the notion that their attack was a retaliation for bullying and ...
