I still believe in taking this path after graduating from college After doing my research I know now the process is not going to be fast and easy, but I am beginning to prepare myself for that journey. I am more of a team member that gets the job done, and crime scene investigation is more of a team effort to get the job done.

The investigating officer can start searching for evidences in any manner he feels suit the crime scene. Importance Of Searching These are some of the basic methods used globally by the forensic experts and the investigating officers to search for evidences at crime scenes. The search for evidences is of extreme importance when it comes to solving a case because they provide as major support to the case. Physical evidence also plays an essential role in several judicial processes, such as:- • Helping to determine the elements of
These profiles fall between psychology and law enforcement, some call it “investigative psychology” while another refers to it as “crime action profiling”. The main connection, the common goal they all share; help investigators examine evidence, narrow down a suspect pool, or give helpful tips on how to interrogate a suspect already in custody. Psychology is used to investigate behavioral patterns, personality traits, and psychopathologies. Demographic variables including age, race, and geographical locations are also used in the profiles. Recently criminologists, law enforcement officials, and psychologists have all teamed together to take criminal profiling, which started out as an art and transform it into a reliable science.
Overall, forensic scientists are able to collect information and use it to help solve or further investigations. How to Become One
Demand for digital forensic services has shown a tremendous growth over the past few years. Criminals use computers to facilitate their criminal intentions. Their activities, plans, or even information related to their crime may be stored in a computer. In a criminal proceeding, it is necessary to prove that the computer is associated with the accused. This is when an expert is needed to set his expertise in the area and provide an explanation to the court.
A police officer can test a theory to determine if it is a viable explanation of a phenomenon by developing and statistically verifying a conjecture concerning the relationship between the variables. However, because human knowledge is limited, hypotheses cannot actually be proved true (Shields, 2007). For example, we will never know for sure if any of the many extraneous variables have impacted a particular relationship between known variables ( a person may appear to have committed a crime, but appearances can be deceiving). However, we can demonstrate that relationships do not exist between variables (the person was already dead at the time of the crime and could not have committed the crime). Thus, because relationships cannot be proved true, an attempt is made to prove them false.
Although those police officers own more discourse power in the mainstream society, the detectives always despise their ability of case-solving. The police, like those police officers from the Scotland Yard in the Adventures of Holmes, and the detectives have a connection of contradictory and interdependent. The detectives often accept the invitation of the police to investigate. While at the same time, the detectives would provide the police some clues “in charity”, and rendered the police as gainers who reap where they don’t sow. In some hard-boiled detective fictions, the police are not only ignorant and incompetent, but also violent and corrupt.
Sometimes a criminal investigation may not produce any further leads causing the case to be set aside. This is why the investigator utilizes twelve essential questions to guide the investigation and determine the solvability of the case. This is also why the investigator works closely with prosecutors to determine the solidity of a case and whether to bring the suspect to
The two detectives are quite good at their job and when they get an assignment to find a missing girl, they quickly find her. However, their investigations also cause the murder of a young mother making them question the morality of earning a living in such circumstances. However taking up more jobs due to their notoriety, they are soon enveloped in the darkness of the ghettoes. They take on drug dealers, crime lords, gunrunners, and ordinary people unable to escape the criminal
Although she might not see herself as a hero and just someone who cleans up “little trash piles here and there,”8 the fact that she remains a detective who's purpose is to detect and solve crime means that she must see some benefit in being a detective rather than a lawyer. Whether it is belief that in the way she can better the world, or if she as a character prefers her freedom away from the restrictions of the law is not made very clear. Yet, the possible motive is there, especially as she herself knows the possible corruption that takes place within the legal institution. For instance, criminals can get away with things due to their right of having a lawyer. This is why Sergio's
