- A criminal investigator's three-fold aims include identifying, locating, and arresting the guilty party, along with providing evidence of guilt.
Crime Scene Protocol
- Upon arriving at a crime scene, securing the area is crucial; the investigator should cordon off the area with materials such as ropes or human barricades to maintain integrity.
- Emergency first aid for injured individuals at the scene is a priority before proceeding with any investigations.
Types of Evidence
- Autoptic evidence is directly perceived, while object evidence includes tangible items that can be examined in court.
- Documentary evidence contains written records relevant to the criminal case.
Miranda Rights and Confessions
- The Miranda warning informs suspects of their rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney, which protects against self-incrimination.
- An extra-judicial confession made under duress is admissible against the confessing party in court, impacting their case significantly.
Identification Methods
- In a murder investigation, various methods can be used to identify suspects, including verbal descriptions, photographic files, police line-ups, and systematic interviews.
