Extractions: SCH: 3 Lecture / Lab (Syllabus for Fall 2005) COURSE DESCRIPTION: Study of the investigative theory, the collection and preservation of evidence, sources of information, concepts of interviewing and interrogation, the use of forensic sciences, and trial preparation. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to discuss the basic theories of investigation; relate the differences between interview and interrogation; discuss the various types of crime scene searches used by police; understand the proper criteria for writing an effective report; understand crime statistics as they relate to investigations; discuss the need for proper crime scene security; describe the concept of offender profiling; and have a basic understanding of the use of various types of evidence. This course is designed to introduce the student to the unique aspects of criminal investigation, as distinguished from other areas of police service. Emphasis is placed on investigative techniques employed, identification of motives and modus operandi, and the use of informants. Gathering information through interviews and interrogation will be integral parts of the focus of the course, as well as the legal aspects of crime solving.
Extractions: Home ADDRESS BY DR AM OMAR MP, MINISTER OF JUSTICE, AT THE KPMG INTERNATIONAL FORENSIC CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION IN INVESTIGATIONS, 8 MAY 1997 WELCOME Chairperson, distinguished guests and all visitors from beyond our shores, ladies and gentlemen. It is my privilege and with great pleasure to warmly greet and welcome all participants at this important international conference on behalf of the South African Government. I trust all will enjoy their stay in beautiful Cape Town. Your presence and participation is warmly appreciated and is in fact essential to make this conference a success. WORLD-WIDE CONCERN In many countries of the world, economic and organised crime, including drug trafficking and corruption, are on the increase. Criminal associations also tend to be organised like business enterprises and follow the same sophisticated patterns as legitimate business concerns. These crimes tend to have, by their very nature, international dimensions. As a result world leaders are increasingly giving high-level attention to combating such crimes. Today the extent of the criminal activities of crime syndicates constitute a real threat to building a society in which the peace, security and safety of all its peoples are secured.
Introduction To Crime Reconstruction basis for confession and informant law, basis for conviction, Seldom used The Signature Aspect in criminal Investigations, Law and Order Magazine, http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/315/315lect03.htm
Extractions: WITH A PRIMER ON LOGICAL REASONING Crime reconstruction (aka crime scene reconstruction) is a fairly new area of study that became popular in the 1990s which many people loosely associate with profiling, psychological autopsy, or equivocal death analysis. Certainly, there are similarities between the four methods, but there are important differences. Profiling , for example, has its origins in the 1974 creation of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit (see lecture on History of Profiling ). Linkage analysis or signature analysis are subfields of profiling that have the closest ties to crime reconstruction. Psychological autopsy is a term first coined in 1977 by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office to investigate suicide cases (Shneidman 1977). Equivocal death analysis (EDA), sometimes called equivocal death evaluation, is a term that first appeared during the 1989 USS Iowa incident in which Clayton Hartwig presumably blew himself up. Something is "equivocal" (as opposed to unequivocal, or certain) when conclusions lend themselves to different interpretations . Usually, the mode of death is equivocal (Ebert 1987), but Annon (1995) states it is when the manner of death is open to question.

Extractions: Criminal DNA analysis made an inauspicious debut in the public consciousness in 1995. Prosecutors, defenders and experts in the O.J. Simpson murder trial spent two bewildering months arguing over 45 blood samples taken from Rockingham Avenue and from the infamous white Ford Bronco. ADVERTISEMENT At one point, experts said the odds of blood on Simpson's socks being from anyone other than Nicole Brown Simpson were one in 21 billion. Though they conceded much of the science's validity, the defense attacked the methods used to collect DNA samples and even raised the specter of planted evidence.

On one side were the communist revolutionaries, called the Reds or Bolsheviks, who favored redistribution of wealth and worker control of government. They held the major cities, but in the countryside White armies were on the move. These forces opposed the revolutionary government, some favoring democracy and some the restoration of the monarch.

Extractions: Operation Disconnect An essential feature of the undercover scenario centered around undercover FBI Agents visiting the owners of illegal telemarketing operations and representing themselves as salesmen of a company which leased a "one-of-a-kind" computerized automatic dialing system. This equipment was advertised by the undercover Agents as a method to dramatically reduce the telemarketer's operating costs and increase their incoming phone calls, thereby generating additional profits for the operation. The undercover scenario continued with the undercover Agents designing a recorded sales pitch that was customized for that particular telemarketing operation. In order to develop the "pitch," knowledge of the operation was essential. The owners and operators disclosed that they were in the business to defraud people. The recorded sales pitch, which was developed after interviews with the owners and operators, would be installed in the computerized dialing equipment and used to promote the telemarketer's operation. The undercover Agents arranged for a test of this customized recorded sales pitch in order to demonstrate its effectiveness. The test results were quite successful with a number of "consumers" purchasing the product.

Conviction checks will be initiated for the following positions: individuals who will be employed in positions identified as security-sensitive; individuals identified through the employment process as having potentially job-related convictions; and individuals identified based on departmental needs and policy. Positions that involve the operation of a motor vehicle or heavy equipment, or require the possession of a valid motor vehicle operator's license will require a driving record check. The provisions of this policy also apply to temporary wage positions that are exempted from the normal recruitment process.

(Out of Print) CHAPTER THREE - MEDICATION INTO SUBMISSION As we have already seen in the preceding chapters, it is not only the political and Pavlovian pressure that may drag down man's mind into servile submissiveness. There are many other human habits and actions which have a coercive influence. All kinds of rumrs have been circulatd telling how brainwashees, before surrendering to their inquisitor, have been poisoned with mysterious drugs. This chapter aimes to describe what medical techniques not only drugs can do to reach behind man's inner secrets. Actually the thought-control police no longer need drugs, though occasionally they have been used. I will touch upon another side to this problem as well, namely, our dangeorus social dependence on various drugs, the problem of addiction, making it easier for us to slip into the pattern of submissiveness. The alcoholic has no mental backbone any more when you give him his drink. The same is true for the chronic user of sedatives or other pills. The use of alcohol or drugs may result in a chemical dependency, weakening our stamina under exceptional circumstances. In the field of practical medicine, magic thinking is still rampant. Though we flatter ourselves that we are rational and logical in our choice of therapy, somewhere we know taht hidden feelings and unconscious motivations direct the prescribing hand. In spite of the therapeutic triumphs of the last fifty years [since 1900], the era of chemotherapy and antibiotics, let us not forget that the same means of medical victory can be used to defeat our purposes.

Challenges to criminal justice systems 1. The International Narcotics Control Board calls on all Governments, when determining their national drug control policies, to recognize the important contribution of criminal justice systems in preventing and controlling the illicit supply and consumption of drugs. There are several ways in which the criminal justice system can assist in the struggle against drug production, trafficking and abuse and drug-related crime. It is aimed at convicting and punishing the guilty, thereby deterring criminal conduct, as well as offering to the abuser an opportunity for treatment and rehabilitation. By making drug seizures, it reduces the quantity of illicit drugs in circulation, thus making it more difficult for users to obtain such drugs. Freezing and confiscating assets derived from drug trafficking not only deprive traffickers of the proceeds of their activities, but can also provide an additional source of revenue for law enforcement activities. 2. The Board notes that there has been a significant increase in the amount of opiates, amphetamines, other psychotropic substances and cocaine seized in recent years. Those seizures reflect the increased efforts and resources devoted by many States to fighting the growing problems of illicit trafficking and drug abuse. Since 1980, global seizures of opiates have increased more than fivefold and seizures of cocaine have increased over tenfold. There has also been an increased number of arrests and convictions of drug offenders, including illicit drug producers and traffickers and persons engaged in laundering drug-related proceeds. Although these developments are in part an indication of growth in the drug abuse problem, they are also an indication of better law enforcement and better training of law enforcement officers.

Extractions: TABLE OF NO SENSE Ineffective Counsel: Patrasso v. Nelson, 121 F.3d 297 (7th Cir. 1997) This is one of those classic, but awful, examples of how difficult it can be to establish a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. In this case, the Seventh Circuit refused to vacate a defendant's conviction for attempted murder even though it acknowledged that his counsel's performance was "below professional norms." That conclusion was based on findings that the attorney "barely spoke with his client and performed no investigation; he had no information [about the case] and so he could not have reasonably considered his available strategies."
