Phases of investigation.

The objectives of the investigator provide a convenient division of the investigation into three phases: (1) the criminal is identified; (2) he is traced and located; and (3) the facts proving his guilt are gathered for court presentation. This division is made for convenience of discussion, since the three phases are not necessarily separated in time but are usually fused throughout the investigation. The same evidence moreover can often be used for all three objectives.

Identifying the Criminal.

In the first stage the criminal is identified, i.e., some person is identified as the perpetrator of the criminal acts. Ordinarily the identity of the criminal is discovered in one or more of the following ways: confession, eyewitness testimony, or circumstantial evidence.

Tracing and Locating the Criminal.

The second phase of the investigation is concerned with locating the offender. Obviously many of the steps previously suggested for identifying the suspect will also lead to his location. Usually the criminal is not hiding; he is simply unknown. In those cases, then, the problem is primarily one of identification. In many cases, however, it is necessary to trace a fugitive who is hiding.

Proving the Guilt.

It is assumed that the criminal has been identified and is now in custody. The investigation, however, is far from complete; it has entered the third and often the most difficult phase, namely, gathering the facts necessary in the trial to prove the guilt of the accused.

The final test of a criminal investigation is in the presentation of the evidence in court. The fact of the existence of the crime must be established; the defendant must be identified and associated with crime scene; competent and credible witnesses must be available; the physical evidence must be appropriately identified, its connection with the case shown; and the whole must be presented in an orderly and logical fashion.
