What is the likely explanation of the crime

Reference no: EM131026751

Behavior evidence analysis is an investigative task requiring an understanding of criminal investigation, criminal behavior, and crime scene reconstruction. There is no script telling the investigator what is or is not important to an investigation in real life. Every facet of a crime has to be considered important until proven otherwise. The victims deserve nothing less. It is an extremely difficult task, but it must be done competently and carefully. It is the duty of those in the criminal justice field to stand between predator and prey. You are starting to work on your cases. You review the facts for each case to identify the M.O. and the signature behaviors.
