Synopsis

Criminal investigators must adjust daily to problems and find new investigative methods to meet the challenges. In many ways, the real criminal investigation books are being written on the street where the rules are changing faster than they can be written. Criminal Investigations addresses both law enforcement and broader social implications of investigative activities. What has not changed, however, is the need for investigators to work effectively and humanely with members of the community. This exceptionally insightful book gives readers a solid foundation in dealing with the most treasured investigative and national resource we have--the citizen.
