PROJECT TO DEVELOP GUIDELINES TO AID INVESTIGATORS IN INITIAL AND FOLLOWUP INVESTIGATIONS AND TO DEVELOP AN EVALUATION METHODOLOGY (CASE SELECTION FOR FOLLOWUP).
Abstract
THE REPORT CONCENTRATES ON THE CRIME OF BURGLARY. BECAUSE SUCCESSFUL INVESTIGATIONS ENCOMPASS A BROAD PROCESS AND UTILIZE MANY POLICE DEPARTMENT RESOURCES, THE AUTHORS EMPHASIZE THAT THE INVESTIGATIVE FUNCTION MUST REFLECT A TOTAL SYSTEMS APPROACH. SIX ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WERE SAMPLED FOR THE STUDY AND THEIR INVESTIGATIVE OPERATIONS WERE ANALYZED INDIVIDUALLY. THIS VOLUME OF THE REPORT COVERS THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES, METHODOLOGY ANALYSIS, AND CONCLUSIONS. (SEE NCJ-010647, NCJ-010648.)
