Full textAbstract:
The paper studies key areas of reforming the institute of preliminary investigation in the Russian Federation. The author does not support the position that reduces key problems of reforming criminal cases’ investigation to different organizational and structural changes, to the establishment or abolishment of some agencies. The reform should be based on diverse and, at the same time, systemic measures, including: the conceptual elaboration of the investigation reform; the systematization of the subject, the object and the very procedure of investigation; the rationalization of organizational and management structures of preliminary investigation; the optimization of the system of public and state control over investigation; the improvement of the relations between the investigation authorities and the public prosecutor’s office; the introduction of changes in the mechanism of cooperation between operational search and investigation authorities; the optimization of relations between investigation authorities and the court; the implementation of a complex of measures aimed at improving the professionalism of investigation officers, raising their general and legal cultural level, creating optimal conditions for their work; the reform of the investigation infrastructure. One of the key areas of reforming preliminary investigation is, according to the author, the restoration of the previously abolished supervision authority of the prosecutor’s office (the authority to initiate a criminal case; the right to issue obligatory directions for the investigator; the authority to terminate a criminal case on any grounds provided by law). Practice has shown that the current system of procedural control over the investigation of criminal cases is weak and does not prevent numerous mistakes and oversight of investigation officers. One scenario of a large-scale investigation reform, according to the author, includes the preservation of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, making it the basic structure for the organization of an inter-agency investigation authority.

This article examines specifics trends of conceptual changes in the system of modern criminal proceedings regarding the use of criminalistic means and techniques as a cognitive tool in criminal procedure in Ukraine. Authors analyzed the reform impact of domestic criminal procedural legislation on definition of goals and objectives of criminalistics; in particular, the emphasis is on the significant expansion of competitiveness in pre-trial investigation and legal proceedings. Proposals of certain criminalists concerning allocation of separate subsystems of knowledge and recommendations directed at different subjects of criminal proceedings in modern criminalistics are analyzed. Characteristic of the conceptual approach of allocation Criminalistic Advocacy Studies is offered in Criminalistics. In this regard, types of advocacy activities in the context of solved tasks by means of сriminalistic knowledge are considered. It is noted that attorney while performing his professional duties – the protection of a person who is subject to criminal prosecution, or the implementation of the representation of the victim, really uses сriminalistic knowledge but for different purposes. In last case, the purpose and scope of the сriminalistic knowledge used by a lawyer actually coincide with the purpose and scope of knowledge of the body of pre-trial investigation. Activity of a lawyer regarding a representation office while the criminal proceedings of the victim's interests is illustrated investigation materials of anthropogenic disaster entailing loss of life. Against this background, a conclusion is drawn on the contradiction and uncertainty of the proposal regarding the formation of "criminalistic advocacy" as a subsystem of criminalistics. According to the performed analysis of an author's vision of modern integration of сriminalistic and criminal procedural knowledge is proposed. It is summarized that use of сriminalistic knowledge can be carried out by each participant in the criminal proceedings in the scoop he thinks fit to achieve his goal, but this does not give grounds for the division of criminalistics into specific subsystems depending on the used subjects. It is emphasized that in view of the radical change regarding domestic criminal procedure, nowadays some scientific norms and practical recommendations of criminalistics need to be reviewed or corrected.

Thesis (MPA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Not a single day passes in South Africa without various violent crimes making the front pages of the local media. The Cape Flats in the Western Cape is one of areas which is seriously affected by violent crime. During the past three years serious violent crimes committed with a firearm have shown a sharp increase. The investigation of such crimes is, just as its prevention, a priority of the SAPS. Investigation of serious violent crime has also changed since the amalgamation of the eleven police agencies in 1996. Whereas the Murder and Robbery Unit was responsible for investigation crimes such as murder and attempted murder using a firearm before 1996, most of these crimes are nowadays investigated by members attached to local detective units. Specialist knowledge is required for the investigation of the said crimes whereas local detectives have only received training in conducting general investigations. The question arising is what is the influence of this training on the investigation of serious crime and more specifically their solution. Against this background the current state of training received by local detectives is investigated as well as the influence on the investigation of serious violent crimes. The SAPS Ravensmead Detective Service is used as a case studyforthis purpose. Practice is compared to the theory and conclusions are drawn about the influence of training on the success rate during the investigation of serious violent crimes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Nie 'n enkele dag gaan in Suid - Afrika verby sonder verskeie geweldsmisdade as voorbladnuus nie. Die Kaapse Vlakte in die Wes -Kaap is van die gebiede wat erg deur ernstige geweldsmisdaad geraak word. Die afgelope drie jaar het ernstige geweldsmisdaad wat gepleeg word deur die gebruik van 'n vuurwapen skerp gestyg. Die ondersoek van dié misdade is net soos die voorkoming daarvan vir die SAPD 'n prioriteit. Die ondersoek van ernstige geweldsmisdaad het na die amalgamering van elf polisie - agentskappe in 1996 verander. Waar die Moord - en - Roofeenheid voor 1996 vir die ondersoek van misdade soos moord en poging tot moord met 'n vuurwapen gepleeg, verantwoordelik was, word die meeste van die misdade nou deur lede verbonde aan plaaslike speureenhede ondersoek. Gespesialiseerde kennis word benodig vir die ondersoek van die genoemde misdade. Plaaslike speurders het slegs opleiding ontvang om algemene ondersoeke waar te neem. Die vraag wat nou ontstaan is wat is die invloed hiervan op die ondersoek van ernstige geweldsmisdaad en meer spesifiek die oplossing daarvan. Teen hierdie agtergrond word ondersoek ingestel na die huidige stand van opleiding van plaaslike speurders en die uitwerking daarvan op die ondersoek van ernstige geweldsmisdaad. Vir hierdie doeleindes word SAPD Ravensmead Speurdiens as gevalstudie gebruik. Die praktyk word met die teorie vergelyk en gevolgtrekkings word gemaak oor die invloed van opleiding op die suksessyfer in die ondersoek van ernstige geweldsmisdaad.

The research was prompted by constant criticism of the Independent Electoral
Commission (IEC) because of its poor voter registration and voters’ roll. Free
and fair elections are the strong arm of democracy. The identified research
problem was investigated by means of qualitative research. A thorough
literature study from various sources of information, a case file analysis and
structured interviews were used to gather the required data. The interviews
were conducted with fingerprint experts, a data processor and constituency
electoral assistants from the Lesotho Mounted Police Service, the National
Identity and Civil Registry at the Ministry of Home Affairs and the IEC
respectively.
It was found that using fingerprints and the Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (AFIS) can assist in investigations and in combating voter’s fraud, as
fingerprints are unique. AFIS can be utilised for various purposes by institutions
in the private and public sectors. Like any apparatus, AFIS has its own strengths
and weaknesses.Criminology and Security Science

The aim of the study was to investigate the role of the life skills training programme in instilling resilience to HIV infection among teen mothers. The study targeted teenage mothers who took part in a life skills training programme in a rural area of Lesotho between 2009 and 2014. The objectives of the study were to; understand what teen mothers have learnt by participating in the project; understand how useful the knowledge was in helping them to cope with HIV and AIDS; understand whether the teen mothers are still using the skills they have been taught to cope with HIV and AIDS, and to understand how the participation in the project benefited them. The research design of the study was quantitative research. A census survey was used to collect data among research participants. The study employed the Health Belief Model, self-efficacy, and resilience theories to explore levels of resilience among teen mothers.
The findings show that the teen mothers’ resilience to HIV and AIDS was enhanced by the life skills training. It also shows that the information raised teen mothers’ levels of awareness of health risks and mitigating actions (life skills). This in turn improved their confidence and competency to implement positive behaviour change. It has also emerged from the study that there is continued use of the acquired knowledge and skills by the teen mothers after the project. The findings also provide evidence of the value of conducting follow up studies on intervention programmes.
The study recommends life skills programme be an inseparable part of HIV and AIDS awareness, especially among teenagers. Such intervention should ideally form part of the school curriculum.Sociology

Full textAbstract:
This study sought to examine the value of modus operandi (MO) information in the investigation of short-term insurance fraud. A comprehensive literature study was conducted concerning the dynamics of MO information in forensic investigation and short-term insurance fraud in South Africa and internationally, and individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with forensic investigators at Santam and MiWay to promote knowledge and understanding of the importance of MO information in short-term insurance fraud investigations.
Results of this research indicate that participants did grasp the significance of MO information in the investigation of short-term insurance fraud. It is, however, apparent that they did not optimally exploit MO information regarding insurance fraud as a result of limited experience, ineffective databases and the inaccessibility of available data – all of which prevent the improvement of utilising MO data pertaining to short-term insurance fraud. Forensic investigators in the short-term insurance industry isolate themselves from each other and fail to share the available MO information amongst each other, resulting in a non-systematic fragmented approach to short-term insurance fraud investigation. The study identifies the challenges and shortcomings experienced by forensic investigators at Santam and MiWay that prevent the optimal utilisation of MO information in the investigation of short-term insurance fraud. The study then suggests a set of recommendations that could assist forensic investigators and other role-players in enhancing the utilisation of such information.Criminology and Security Science

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is to determine what physical evidence can be found on the body of the perpetrator to link the suspect with the crime of rape. Regarding this, the researcher was trying to introduce a number of important concepts such as forensic investigation, chain of custody, evidence, information, identification, individualization, crime scene and the Locard Principle.
This research will explain the meaning of forensic investigation, the objective of criminal investigation, the difference between information and evidence and individualization and identification. An important principle which all investigators and prosecutors should know is the Locard Principle. It says: "Every contact leaves a trace". The principle further explains that, whenever two objects come into contact with one another, material from the first would be transferred to the second and material from the second would be transferred to the first. Although this principle is important for investigators as well as prosecutors, most of them do not know the principle.
The other important thing is the consideration of the body of the perpetrator as a crime scene to prove a crime. A crime scene is defined as an area where a criminal act has taken place. If we get evidence from the body of the perpetrator, we can then consider it as a crime scene. Lastly, regarding the legal rights to collect evidence on the body of the perpetrator, there should be specific laws in Ethiopia. However, there is no specific law. In addition to this, there is no DNA investigation in Ethiopia. Hence, this research will enhance the skills of investigators and prosecutors will benefit from what I have discovered through the research and I am very pleased to be the first Ethiopian in the introduction of the field of forensic investigation to the readers.Forensic Investigations

The research attempts to establish how an identification parade
should be conducted, for evidence derived from it to be admissible in court. To conduct effective investigation, it is important for investigators to be familiar with the concept “identification parade”, its purpose, the procedures to conduct it and its values.
To achieve the goals and objectives of the practice of an identification parade, investigators must know how to conduct it, what the value of its evidence is, and how to use it as a technique to identify suspects.
The direction, by implication, and clarification of the crime situation, is hardly possible without the determination of the identity of the perpetrator or suspect of a criminal act. The recognition of the identification parade as a form of evidence gathered is of the utmost importance.Criminology

The research attempts to evaluate the maintaining of the chain of evidence
as a process of effective collection, handling and preservation of evidence.
The concept "chain of evidence" refers to the process of collecting, handling
and preservation of evidence until its presentation in court, as part of the
investigation process.
Evidence is anything that tends logically to prove or disprove a fact at issue
in a judicial case. Evidence essentially consists of oral evidence,
documentary evidence and real evidence. The value of evidence cannot be
underestimated as evidence can make or break a case. It is therefore
important that evidence is correctly and properly collected, handled and
preserved to establish a strong link between an individual and a specific act.Police Practice

Following the qualitative methodology as the approach in the case study, this investigation demonstrates that in spite of the years that have passed, and of the efforts undertaken by the governments to make changes, jails continue being frequently damaged spaces, and in their interiors reigns a particular way of life in which violence is a necessary consequence, where socially diminished individuals retrain, with insufficient programs of attention, limited offers and opportunities of access amongst other restrictions, which end on disrespect and violation of their human rights because many times, more than stimulation for their rehabilitation, which is the proclaimed goal of the penitentiary system, jail is constituted into a place of development of their criminal career.

Terrorism has contributed significantly to the unstable and unavoidable conflict and threat to security to many countries in the twenty-first century globally. In this qualitative case study, the author explores the causes and devastating effects of terrorism on the continent of Africa. The study used purposive sampling method to select and interview eight executive police officers from the Kofi Annan International Peace Training Centre (KAIPTC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS). The researcher also assessed issues of policing in Africa relating to terrorism using archival records kept at criminal investigations departments, empirical studies, and other records on the menace published by renowned experts. The study reveals that socialization and radicalism through some interventions are the major causes of terrorism in Africa. The study recommends that international bodies led by the United Nations should support the policing efforts to curb the menace of terrorism in Africa.

Forensic face matching evidence has been presented in UK courts for over 30 years to provide crucial identification evidence in criminal investigations. To be admissible as evidence in UK courts, face matching must be conducted by a suitably qualified expert using scientifically validated procedures. Contrary to this notion, however, the field has been largely self-regulated, with little empirical investigation into the validity of face matching procedures and extensive criticism of forensic face matching in the scientific literature. Practitioner working groups are now addressing these criticisms and standardizing working practices, but further effort is required to ensure that the procedures used for forensic face matching are reliable and the limitations known. This chapter provides a critical analysis of the forensic face matching procedures used in the UK and internationally by forensic face examiners, alongside studies and case examples that have challenged and tested the reliability and accuracy of these procedures.

Modern day smartphones are capable of performing every single task that a desktop computer can do. Smartphones being a new technology with less than a decade in the communication industry are vulnerable to security attacks and data leakage. In the current scenario, Android devices are the majority are the prime target of hackers and criminal organisation. Thus, smartphone security is of utmost priority for software companies. In this chapter, the authors begin by discussing the need for mobile forensic analysis and discussing basic smartphone vulnerabilities. they then discuss the types of attacks and their effects on smartphones followed by the security mechanisms employed to deal with the attacks and threats. they also list and give a brief description of tools used commercially for forensic analysis of smartphones, and two experiment-based case studies are provided to allow the readers to get a better understanding of the merits of existing works and practical application of investigation process.
