Crime Detection Review

Crime detection, investigation, and prevention are major tasks of the police. Crime detection begins with discovering a crime scene and collecting evidence, which is then analyzed using scientific methods. The police cooperate with authorities to promote public knowledge of crime prevention and conduct investigations to solve cases promptly. Crime prevention is everyone's responsibility but law enforcement agencies like the police are the main focus for community prevention efforts. Detection and investigation are primarily the police's responsibility, though some agencies focus on specific crime types. Crime detection has three phases: discovery of the crime, identifying the suspect, and collecting evidence to indict them.

Crime detection begins with the discovery of a crime scene and proceeds through the precess of
evidence collection,  identification and analysis.

Crime prevention and detection is the major task of the police. In carrying out this task, the police
cooperate with the authorities concerned to promote public knowledge of crime prevention and they
conduct investigation and collect evidence for examination with scientific instruments and methods
through legal procedures in hope that all cases occurring could be solved promptly to ensure social
security and stability.
