Arranged in four parts, leading experts in the research field have commissioned experienced teachers to provide a teaching resource that is up to date and easy to use on courses.In Part 1, The Anatomy of Crime, definitions and measurements as well as theories of why crime is committed are covered; in Part 2, Investigating Crime, interviewing victims, witnesses and suspects, detecting deception and identifying perpetrators are included; Part 3, The Trial Process includes detailed coverage of judicial processes, safeguarding witnesses, evidence, and the role of experts in a number of contexts. A final part, After Sentencing, includes a discussion of the role ofsentencing and working with offenders.
