The manner in which criminal investigators are trained is neither uniform nor consistent, ranging from sophisticated training protocols in some departments to on-the-job experience alongside senior investigators in others. Ideal for students taking a first course in the subject as well as professionals in need of a refresher, Introduction to Criminal Investigation uses an accessible format to convey concepts in practical, concrete terms.

Topics discussed include

The history of criminal investigation in Western society
Qualifications for becoming an investigator, the selection process, and ideal training requirements
Crime scene search techniques, including planning and post-search debriefing
Preparing effective field notes and investigative reports
Interviewing and interrogating
Types of evidence found at the crime scene and how to collect, package, and preserve it
The contributions of forensic science to criminal investigations and the equipment used in crime labs
Investigative protocol for a range of crimes, including property crimes, auto theft, arson, financial crimes, homicide, assault, sex crimes, and robbery
Specialized investigations, including drug trafficking, cybercrime, and gang-related crime
Legal issues involved in criminal investigations and preparing a case for trial

Bringing together contributions from law enforcement personnel, academics, and attorneys, the book combines practical and theoretical elements to provide a comprehensive examination of today's criminal investigative process. The accessible manner in which the information is conveyed makes this an ideal text for a wide-ranging audience.
