Identify and discuss the three potential problems with evidence in criminal investigations.

What will be an ideal response?


Investigators may not know the relevance of the information at the time of collection or if it is even related to the case at hand. Also, the police may be overwhelmed with too much information that they cannot adequately collect, manage, and follow-up on every tip. Lastly, the evidence obtained may not be accurate, like with eyewitness identifications that are persuasive yet problematic.
