Victimology is important in the overall investigative
process because it not only tells us who the victims were, their health
and personal history, social habits and personality, but also provides
ideas as to why they were chosen as victims. In many situations, the
offender will hold back from choosing a victim until one that meets his
needs comes along, possibly allowing him to fulfill some fantasy or
desire he has.
Online Lecture Notes for Victimology
Before we can understand victimology, we need to
appreciate that it is a fairly new subfield or area of specialization
within criminology. Criminology is a rather broad field of study that
encompasses the study of law making, law breaking, and societal
reactions to law breaking. Victimology, much like criminal justice,
falls into the third of these areas.

Advanced Forensic Investigative Techniques: Analysis & Physical
Matching of Pattern & Trace Evidence
Physical evidence at a crime scene most often
occurs as trace evidence. Often this evidence requires physical
matching, analysis of physical or chemical properties,
separation into various components, identification of source,
and crime scene reconstruction in order to link a suspect to a
victim or crime scene. Knowing how to preserve, collect, and
process crime scene evidence is critical to the integrity of any
criminal investigation. Even if evidence collection is not part
of your job, knowing how to preserve the evidence so as to
maintain its evidentiary value is critical information for any
member of a crime or death scene investigation team. |
