A Criminal Investigation refers to the process of collecting information (or evidence) about a crime in order to: determine if a crime has been committed; identify the perpetrator; apprehend the perpetrator; and provide evidence to support a conviction in court. If the first three objectives are successfully attained, then the crime can be said to be solved. Several other outcomes such as recovering stolen property, deterring individuals from engaging in criminal behaviors, and satisfying crime victims have also been associated with the process.
A complete criminal investigation can include:
- Searching
- Interviews
- Interrogations
- Evidence collection
- Preservation and various methods of investigation.
Modern-day criminal investigations commonly employ many modern scientific techniques known collectively as forensic science.
