, QUESTION 1
1.1. Ubuntu
- The investigation of crime draws on other theories and communal concepts, such
as Ubuntu, to enhance its own effectiveness, more effectively tackling the crime
under investigation. It is also important to consider how investigative principles for
policing can be enriched by applying the concept of Ubuntu. The primary goal of
integrating Ubuntu and investigative principles is to enhance the way the police
perform their duties, and thereby to seek the change that will be brought about
“putting people first in service delivery” (Batho Pele).
1.2. Role of investigator at crime scene
- It is the responsibility of the crime investigator to ensure that the crime scene is
cordoned off and safeguarded because of valuable evidence is often lost when
physical evidence is ignored, because the criminal investigator does not understand
its value. The investigator remains the central figure in the individualisation process.
Should he or she be unable to detect clues, interpret them correctly, place their
association on record, submit to the appropriate expert and handle them in such a
manner as to maximise their analysis, the investigation will be doomed to failure. The
location and safekeeping of physical evidence is mainly the responsibility if the
investigator. After the investigator has received the reports from the experts about
their analysis of the exhibits, it is obviously the investigator’s responsibility to react to
this information, for instance by deciding to arrest the suspect.
1.3. Importance of recording the crime scene
-It is important to record the crime scene because a criminal investigator can record
the crime scene in many ways in order to be able to use it in the criminal
investigation. Every aspects of the crime scene must be recorded, which is why it is
imperative that the investigator should arrive on the scene as soon as possible. It is
important to note that the crime scene must be recorded before it can be searched
for any physical evidence, because the searching process could disturb the scene or
objects at the scene. Everything and anything visible at the crime scene is worthy of
being noted.
-The crime scene coordinators must coordinate to photograph, sketch or video the
crime scene. Recording a crime scene is very important as the coordinators will be
responsible for recording the crime scene properly. They should make notes of all
their actions in their official capacity with regard to the crime scene. A notebook,
pocketbook, tape recorder or computers are used to make notes of where and how
the evidence was obtained.
