What is Inductive and Deductive Reasoning?
What will be an ideal response?
After initial investigation of a crime the investigator draws conclusions typically through inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning draws on general conclusions from specific propositions. Not all conclusions are strong so one must be careful of weak premises to conclusions that are in need of further investigation. Deductive reasoning is based on specific pieces of evidence to establish proof that a suspect is guilty of an offense. The more evidence collected the stronger it allows investigators to establish guilt. Abduction helps make links among events and the development of the overall theory of a crime depends on adding new links.
