Identify and discuss the three goals associated with the criminal investigation process.
What will be an ideal response?
The three goals associated with the criminal investigation process are to solve the crime, to provide evidence in support of a conviction in court, and to provide a level of service to satisfy the victim(s). Students should explain what is needed to solve a crime (crime occurrence, identified perpetrator, and apprehended perpetrator). Students should also note the police’s responsibility to obtain evidence to present to the prosecutor. Lastly, students should explain the importance of public perceptions of the police in discussing the last goal of the criminal investigation process.
