CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION

Criminal investigation defines the action of studying facts that are used in order to inform
criminal trials. A proper investigation involves actions such as searchings, interviews,
interrogation of wrongdoers, collecting evidence using most accurate and technically
advanced forensic indicators. Often, during investigations, police hold identity parades as a
method of using a victim or a witness in easen the process of finding truth. Some
investigations that are not concludent requires additional activities so as to exploid
oportunities revealed by ways in which evidence were studied. Follow-up investigation prove
themselves to be means of revealing important pieces of evidence which depicts the criminal
aspects of the illegal act, establishing the whereabouts.
Beside circumstantial pieces of evidence and those revealed as a result of investigators’
intuition, a great merit deverves intelligence products that are being developed by special
trained persons, revealing information that is to know about suspects. Such pieces of
information point places in which closed-circuit television may have surprised the allegedly
perpetrator, also there are instrumental in breaking a suspect during interrogations.
Criminal investigation is fundamental in legal procedure whereas court hearing the evidence,
which is investigation product, substantiates the decision. Although material acts are essential,
there aren’t merely enough without procedural means that reclaim action of laying a charge
through complaints, submitting a claim. Measure of jailing happens for both obvious
situations and presumed situations for serious reasons, although in custody a presumption
operates showing arrested persons, innocent until proven guilty. There are possibilities they
misconduct, severely kickings or act violent in other ways towards other arrested persons, so
the policeman has to take the measure of solitary confinement. Trial can regard a open-and-
shut case or a more complex one requiring greater cognitive efforts and general knowledge, or
particular behaviour of suspect ass it happens in particular situation of distinguish between
offering iducements and compelling. Summoning to court can be realised regarding whether
the person in question is in custory or free through subpoena or accompanied by custody
officer. In the situation of a minor infraction or well-argued and motivated, appreciated as
non-harmful for society, and overall appreciated by others criteria, instance may grant
defendant a liberation upon bail.
Proactive measures seems relatively foreign to criminal investigations, but in fact they are
included in a very important branch of policing, called proactive policing. Judge by objective
criteria of criminal law reasoning, penalties are being taken for perpetrator’s and for others’
behalf, not for making his life bitter for as much as people that went a wrong path to
therefore they should be kept apart from illegal actions through proactive measures and
reasoning.The situations in which a suspect has allegedly entice the victim into a seldom
circulated area and commited a thuggery act, juvenile delinquency, misdemanors and other
such actions are bungled from beginning, so they constitute a double jeopardy, scarring a
person and ruinning another’s life, having therefore no other motivation than misery.
Proactive measure can solve those kind of problem in some percentage, and straighten those
who want a better life for themselves and community.
It is of the highest importance to mention about human errors that happens as human beings
are exposed to mistakes and prone to be influenced by almost anything that not necessarily are
helpful in finding the truth. It’s therefore imperative that officials be very careful in drawing
conclusions and conduct researches prudently since , as criminal law teachings states, ” It is
better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer”. Any other interpretation is
not only unjust and shallow but also undermines fundamental natural rights of human beings
as creation in the image and likeness of God.
