QUESTION 1
Concept of Investigation:
Investigation refers to the systematic process of gathering
information, analyzing evidence, and uncovering facts to
understand and resolve an issue or crime. In the context of a
murder scene at a company office, investigation involves several
key steps:
, 1. Securing the Scene: First, the area must be secured to
prevent contamination of evidence. This includes
cordoning off the crime scene and restricting access to
authorized personnel only.
Example: At the murder scene, securing the area ensures
that crucial evidence, such as fingerprints or DNA, is not
tampered with by unauthorized individuals.
2. Collecting Evidence: This step involves systematically
gathering physical evidence such as fingerprints, DNA, and
any items that might be relevant to the investigation.
Example: Collecting a bloodstained weapon or a piece of
clothing found at the scene.
3. Interviewing Witnesses: Speaking with witnesses or
individuals who might have information about the incident
or the victim.
Example: Interviewing employees who were present at the
office around the time of the murder to gather information
on possible suspects or unusual activities.
4. Analyzing Evidence: Reviewing and analyzing the
collected evidence to draw conclusions about the
circumstances surrounding the murder.
Example: Using forensic analysis to determine the cause of
death and linking evidence found at the scene to potential
suspects.
