    Criminal investigation involves studying facts to inform criminal trials using techniques like searching, interviews, evidence collection and forensic science. A crime requires three elements: a motive, the means or instrument used, and an opportunity. Motives include disputes, gain, or addiction, while instruments can be weapons, vehicles or poison. The opportunity arises from a victim's actions, like leaving a home unattended. Crimes should be investigated to deter offenders and others, protect community safety, and ensure only the guilty are punished to protect the innocent.

    1. DEFINE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION

    Criminal investigation is an applied science that involves the study of facts


    that are then used to inform criminal trials. A complete criminal investigation
    can include searching, interviews, interrogations, evidence collection and
    preservation, and various methods of investigation. Modern-day criminal
    investigations commonly employ many modern scientific techniques known
    collectively as forensic science.

    2. DISCUSS THE ANATOMY OF CRIME

    For any crime to happen, there are three elements or ingredients that
    must be present at the same time and place. These are the Motive, the
    Instrumentality and the Opportunity.

    A. Motive refers to the reason or cause why a person or group of persons will
    perpetrate a crime. Examples are dispute, economic gain, jealousy, revenge,
    insanity, thrill, intoxication, drug addiction and many others.

    B. Instrumentality is the means or implement used in the commission of the


    crime. It could be a firearm, a bolo, a fan knife, an ice pick, poison or
    obnoxious substance, a crow bar motor vehicle, etc. Both the Motive and
    Instrumentality belong to and are harbored and wielded respectively by the
    criminal.

    C. Opportunity consists of the acts of omission and/or commission by a


    person (the victim) which enables another person or group of persons (the
    criminal/s) to perpetrate the crime. Illustrative examples include leaving one’s
    home or car unattended for a long time, walking all alone in a well-known
    crime prone alley, wearing expensive jewelries in slum area, readily admitting
    a stranger into one’s residence and the like. Opportunity is synonymous with
    carelessness, acts of indiscretion and lack of crime prevention-consciousness
    on the part of the victim.
    3. IDENTIFY THE REASONS WHY CRIMES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

    The purpose of the investigation is to explore in detail the


    allegations, to examine the evidence in depth, and to determine
    specifically whether academic research misconduct has been committed,
    and if so, the responsible person and the seriousness of the misconduct.

    Four (4) Reasons Why Crime Should Be Investigated

    A. Future deterrence of Offenders


    - The identification and punishment of a criminal offender will hopefully
    deter him from other misconduct in the future.

    B. Deterrence to Others
    - Identification and punishment of an offender may likewise deter
    others from engaging in similar undesirable activities.

    C. Community Safety
    - The investigative process also promote public safety by identifying and
    bringing to court persons who pose a serious threat to the safety
    of the community due to violent or otherwise strong anti-social behavior.

    D. Protection of the innocent


    - Finally, accurate investigations help to insure that only conduct which
    is in fact criminal is punished, and the innocent parties will not be
    subjected to prosecution.
