Criminal Investigation

Criminal Investigation refers to the systematic process of gathering evidence and information to uncover, solve, and prosecute criminal activities. It involves a series of steps, including the detection of a crime, the collection of physical and testimonial evidence, interviewing witnesses and suspects, and analyzing data to build a case. Criminal investigations are typically conducted by law enforcement agencies, including police departments and federal agencies, and may involve various specialized units, such as homicide, cybercrime, or narcotics divisions. The primary objective is to identify and apprehend offenders, prevent further criminal activity, and ensure that justice is served through the legal system. Evidence collected during these investigations is crucial for court proceedings and can determine the outcome of criminal cases.
