INTRODUCTION
Criminology is the process which involves the study of all the elements and aspects of
crime as well as law enforcement including social setting for a crime, prohibition of crime,
prevention of crime and criminal psychology as well. Investigation refers to the process
which involves the deep search for facts in order to sort out a complex situation. The process
aims at determining why or how a particular situation occurred/happened. Investigations are
official and formal (Zulyadi, 2020). In simple words, it can be explained as the process to
inquire or examine inquiry or simply a research expression for active effort to find something
important. Police and national decision making models are the models which are focused
towards the formal investigations within the law enforcement environment. It focused
towards the making a strategic direction for making decisions through gathered evidence or
data through investigation.
The report aims to analyse the investigation process, various investigation strategies
and the national decision making model as well.
Investigation process
Investigation process is the procedure to collection for reaching a goal i.e. getting
reason behind situation. Criminal investigation process is the procedure of searching evidence
regarding a crime for different reasons (Chu and et.al., 2020). The reason might be to analyse
is the crime has actually been committed, apprehend the perpetrator, collect evidence to
support truth and conviction in court or to identify the actual perpetrator i.e. criminal.
Through this investigation and attaining goals of the investigation, crimes are resolved. The
outcomes such as deterring individuals from getting in criminal behaviours, satisfying victims
of crimes and also to recovering a stolen property.
Investigation include all the procedures to techniques which are undertaken by the police
officers within the code of collection of evidence. It is the process which is conducted by the
police officers and not the Magistrate, rather a magistrate orders a person to conduct the
investigation on their behalf (Tucho and et.al., 2018).
While committing a crime, the perpetrator emits signals or they leave behind some
information such as fingerprints, murder weapon or eye witness etc. Through investigation
the Police aims to find those signals.
