✦ Synopsis

This slim volume contains a discussion of the technique of criminal investigation with emphasis upon its major objective-the establishing of the identity of the offender. Administrative problems are touched upon, the American restrictions upon suspect interrogation are detailed with reference to case law, and useful chapters describe the care and preservation of real evidence and the law governing electronic surveillance of persons, vehicles and situations. There is reference to some of the American source literature.

The book is aimed at the smaller police departments.

In the United Kingdom it will probably be of value only for comparative purposes, but it may well be of service to those charged with responsibility for setting up new police forces in other parts of the world.
