In a criminal investigation, there is the need to break down two things. Firstly, the investigation itself and secondly the investigator involved. It is of utmost importance that the criminal investigation is done accurately, failure to do so will have negative consequences on the society. Investigation involves the collection of facts, scenarios and situations which are directly or indirectly related with the case. Whereas investigator is the person who should observe, question, analyze and scrutinize the available details. Careful evaluation then helps to achieve the much needed evidence. Criminal investigation is one of the most essential functions of the Law Enforcement agencies, as it is their prime responsibility to maintain a secure environment and
In this article, Richard Leo examines false confession cases, investigating the wonder of false confessions, the effect of confessional proof, and the reasons for false confessions. Police interrogations can be intimidating to people who are in desperate situations. Some people are bullied into making false confessions and end up getting convicted, even though they are innocent. If the Court convicts someone using testimonies and confessions, the defendant didn’t get the right to a fair trial.

Many of today’s interrogation models being utilized in police investigations have an impact on false confessions. The model that has been in the public eye recently is the social psychological process model of interrogation known as the “The Reid Technique.” There are two alternatives used by the police today to replace the Reid Technique, one is the PEACE Model and the other is Cognitive Interviewing. These methods are not interrogation techniques like Reid but interview processes.
Overall, this study was about experimenting the influence of defendant gender either it is male or female, on juror decision in rating the likelihood of guilty in different types of crime
The investigation of crime, society’s reaction to it and approaches to prevent it are all areas that have interested me from my adolescent years. I have an interest and passion for Criminology studies for the strict purpose of wanting to fulfill a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of crime and exploring how crimes affect our society. This shady interest in the criminal world has encouraged me to pursue the subject at degree level and to seriously consider a career in a related field. At the beginning of the course my understanding on crime and criminology was mostly derived from the internet or media. These tools became very useful for me to learn different subjects of crime.
Later this week I will be going back to China, but it seems that my mother has already planned everything for me before I tell her what I want to do during the vacation. For every time when we make a phone call, she keeps encouraging me to have an internship at the company she works for. Although I know such experience will make my resume look good, I understand that I could barely do anything as a rising sophomore who has only finished studying several fundamental courses. I’m having a dialectal tension between revealing and concealing my personal opinions because on the one hand, I want to do what I want to do, and on the other hand, I don’t want my mom to be disappointed. It does affect our relationship especially when she keeps talking
Our current ideology on crime and justice dates back to thousands of years back. This paper will compare and contrast our system and sense of crime and justice with the society Malinowski describes in “The Law in Breach and the Restoration of Order”. In our modern era, it is acceptable to think Hammurabi code is ideal to pursue crime and justice or Cesare Beccaria’s approach towards the pursue of justice is best for the society. To each to its own when it comes to this based on their own values. But regardless of how extreme, or mild our societies thought can be to sought after justice for crimes, the ultimate purpose of all of it to teach a lesson to the individual who committed the crime and to others.
Police interrogate suspects on a daily basis, but how can they tell if the confession is real? We have all heard, at one time or another of someone confessing to a crime they didn’t commit. Then your next thought is “I would never confess to something I didn’t do”. The only way you can be a 100% sure of that is if you have been through an interrogation before. This paper is going to define “confession” and tell how an innocent person will confesses to a crime they didn’t commit. This paper will also show the history of interrogations.
In this paper it will be discussing the two major sections of Wrongful Convictions. The first section will cover in detail the false confessions. The second section will cover about informant testimony and its importance. The third will be covering in detail the improper use of forensics and last but not least the paper will discuss witness misidentification.
In the Criminal Justice system, the main goal is justice or in other words, a fair consequence to match a criminal action. An obvious, yet unmentioned underlying goal is to prevent injustice. Many times, justice prevails, and this is why our system prevails today. However, when justice fails, it is key to look at the information offered in order to better the system and to repay those that have been failed by it. One area that has shown itself as flawed is the area of interrogations though many other areas will be presented throughout this paper as well. By examining five cases involving questionable interrogation and showing other system flaws, I will enlighten others as to how our justice system handles its flaws, and hopefully I will
The way of police preparing and job requires cops to utilize both scholarly and good capacities. Morals guideline assembles moral character in officers and at work utilization of good thinking empowers police overseers to distinguish critical issues and adjust regularly clashing laws, group desires, and there, in any case, little voices. While it has been traditional to depict the piece of police concerning social contract theory with cops as authorities blamed for the necessity of law such a definition here isn't sufficient.

What does it take to close a case? Investigators -- engulfed in a slew of incriminating evidence and having secured some extremely reliable witnesses is a substantial amount to put away a prime suspect. What can insure that a case is closed even more quickly is a confession from the suspect. This confession usually takes a certain amount of coercion, on the part of the interrogators, to achieve. Coercion is an interrogation technique that uses intimidation to get suspects to confess to crimes whether or not they are truly guilty of any crime. Some will argue that coercion is a brilliant method with which to incarcerate criminals with. Others will say that it is much more beneficial to conduct a full investigation instead of relying on a
The Classical school of criminology can be known as the free will to act at one’s own discretion, where an individual chooses to break the law upon a desirable choice. The Classical emphasizes how the system was organized, punishments for crime, and how authorities should react to crime. On the other hand, positivist school was created to see what influences an individual to break the laws, based on human beings’ behavior. Positivist school is simply trying to analyze who, what, and how crime is initiated. This study will identify the schools’ argument, and if they complement each other, the advantages and disadvantages, and the different approaches or points of view from multiple criminologist regarding the schools and theories.
Many changes have occurred in the legal system over the several decades it has existed. These changes have caused the victim to be the focus point of legal action and the changes have also caused the victim to either be the negative focus point (through blaming the victim for the actions of the criminal) or completely in the background as a “witness” (such as in the case of feudal barons taking over the system). In the following, I plan to explain the background of both the victim justice system and the criminal justice system as well as show what changes have occurred through the development of them both.
