Evidence (Case Study‪)‬

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] For the purposes of this series of articles, the term investigative processes will be used to describe both criminal investigation and crime scene processing. Any distinctions between criminal investigation and crime scene processing will be designated as such. Although crime scene processing is part of criminal investigation, it is distinct; crime scene processing requires rigorous scientific methodologies (i.e., collection procedures, testing protocols, etc.), while criminal investigation has less of a "hard science" character and relies more on the experience and skills of the investigator rather than rigid scientific protocols and procedures. In this light, crime scene processing can be viewed as the "science" of investigative processes, whereas criminal investigation can be viewed as the "art." The format of this article series is to provide information on the entire spectrum of investigative processes that is useful for all individuals involved in investigations: the responding officer, detectives/investigators, police supervisors, lawyers, judges, and other criminal justice professionals. This article examines special investigations such as white collar crime, drug trafficking, high-tech crime, and terrorism using the Enterprise Theory of Investigation; trial and testimony; and conflict and perspective.
