Death Investigations is the first installment of the new Jones & Bartlett Learning Guides to Law Enforcement Investigation series! Many texts on criminal investigation present the same investigative process for all types of crime. However, each crime type requires a unique approach with distinct steps. An investigation involving a death is no different. All incidents of death should be processed as a homicide until it can be proven otherwise. In order to do so correctly, all investigative procedures specifically related to death investigation should be applied. Death Investigations is the first installment of the new Jones & Bartlett Learning Guides to Law Enforcement Investigation Series and presents the specific functions and processes necessary to accurately assess and document cases involving a death. It is critical for students preparing for a career in law enforcement and investigation to have a complete understanding of all death types (homicides, suicide, accident, natural, and undetermined), not simply homicides. Without delving too deep into the forensics or medico-legal aspects of death (i.e. gunshot wounds, sharp force injuries, etc.), this resource provides readers with the information necessary to accurately resolve the cases involving a death assigned to them as police officers and law enforcement personnel.
