What is a Criminal Investigation?
A criminal investigation looks for clues and evidence to determine whether a crime has taken place. If a crime has been committed, a criminal investigation may look into the background of the accused and may try to uncover who committed the crime. Police agencies and law enforcement are committed to criminal investigations of every kind, but a growing number of individuals are choosing to launch their own criminal investigations with the help of professional investigators.
What is a Crime?
A crime is an intended action that is against the rules of law for a community. In most communities, sexual assault, physical assault, murder, theft, property damage and vandalism are all crimes. If a crime is committed, investigators will work to determine what happened and who is responsible. If the perpetrator is found, he or she may be brought to court and accused.
Why Do I Need a Criminal Investigation?
Although in the past many people have allowed law enforcement to conduct criminal investigations, today a growing awareness of the problems with this method has pushed many people to seek independent investigations. Most police forces are so overwhelmed with crime and so understaffed that not all criminal investigations get the resources they need. Police will often hunt for a criminal for a while and then designate a case “cold.” A private investigator is not only exclusively dedicated to solving a case, but he or she often does not have the limitations of resources and jurisdiction that a law enforcement agency must contend with. Plus, an investigator will look for things on your terms – whether or not the police are convinced that no crime was committed. Investigators will even work on criminal defense investigations, gathering evidence of wrongful conviction or accusation.
What Kinds of Criminal Investigations Exist?
There are many kinds of criminal investigations, including fraud investigations, rape investigations, sexual crime investigations, theft investigations, kidnapping investigations, assault investigations, homicide investigations, and many others. There are specific investigation techniques for almost every crime you could imagine.
How Reliable are Criminal Investigations?
Criminal investigators are highly trained and have the resources to a wide variety of tools – including forensics investigations, crime scene investigations, networks of investigators, surveillance, records checks, and other sources that can help them solve crimes. Since investigators take cues from you, they will generally continue to investigate until you are satisfied, so that the chances that you will get the answers you seek are quite high.
