Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to contribute to the knowledge on the police detective's work practices, and account on how police general detectives view their performance and understanding regarding what skills needed to handle variety of general cases in their line of duty. The research question that directed this study is what constitutes an effective general police detective? To address this question, this study followed a qualitative ethnographic methodology with fifteen (15) general detectives. Social constructivism, utilising a purposive sampling was deemed appropriate for the nature of this study. The results produced four (4) themes that indicate that detectives' sensemaking of casework take place through two (2) principal practices: a concluding practice and supporting practice. Furthermore, the findings show that detectives' work is highly social and procedural. This suggests that detectives' work practice is of a social nature and that contacts between police investigators or detectives are important to take into account in the organisation of an investigative department.

Abstract:
The article reports on the results of experimental phonetic research aimed at identifying the prosodic characteristics of utterances manifesting the strategy of direct questioning. To unveil the prosody of direct questioning, utterances used by a police detective and an amateur detective in detective film discourse have been analysed. It has been established that tone frequency, or melodic component of prosody, is helpful in differentiating of the communicative tactics, since it has turned out to be the most varied component according to the results of auditory analysis. The results of the instrumental analysis of the police detective’s speech and the amateur detective’s speech have shown that the widest frequency range marks the communicative tactic of clarification in the police detective’s speech, and the communicative tactic of a demand to speak to the point / interruption in the amateur detective’s speech. The narrowest frequency range is characteristic of the communicative tactic of a direct questioning in the police detective’s speech and the tactic of clarification in the amateur detective’s speech. On the whole, the frequency range of the utterances manifesting communicative tactics in the amateur detective’s speech has turned out to be wider compared to those in the police detective’s speech. The analysis of the localization of the frequency maxima in different parts of sense-groups uttered by both detectives has shown that the localization fluctuations of the frequency maxima are insignificant and denote expressive coloring of the most important lexemes in the speech of both detectives.

Abstract:
Abstract A private detective in Slovenia may perform detective activities as an independent profession or on the basis of an employment relationship for a natural or legal person with a registered private detective activity (ZDD-1, 2011). Private detectives completed a questionnaire when they attended the annual training in June 2018 – almost half of Slovenian private detectives participated in the survey. The study results show that almost half of self-employed private detectives investigate more drug abuse at work and abuse of competition clauses, while private detective agencies conduct more civil, legal, and administrative proceedings than other organisational forms. Some private detectives do not perform private detective tasks as their main activity, but as a secondary activity, and those individuals for whom private detective work is their primary/main profession mostly deliver packages, write reports and collect debtors’ data on behalf of their clients.

Abstract:
This paper studies the formulation of two women detectives in Tana French’s work, Cassie Maddox and Antoinette Conway, in the Dublin Murder Squad Series by exploring the hard-boiled fiction conventions which underlie the formulation of Tana French’s two female detectives. The objective of this study is to determine how French innovates the hard-boiled fiction conventions in the formation of her women detective characters, Cassie Maddox and Antoinette Conway. By employing formula analysis as theorized by John G. Cawelti (1976), the results of this study show that French innovates the hard-boiled formula in four aspects. First, French innovates the hard-boiled formula by expanding the concept of marginality from economic class to gender and race. The second innovation is the substitution of the hard-boiled convention which emphasizes on masculine toughness with resistance to patriarchal control. Third, French re-established the relationship between the detective and the character femme fatale. Their similarity of female experiences and perspective with the femme fatale makes these women detectives not only reveal the femme fatale as a murderer, but also the motives and scenarios behind their acts. Finally, French also innovates the antithetical nature of the hard-boiled detective’s presentation by offering a ‘feminine’ path to justice. These observations show that French’s innovations on hard-boiled conventions on her women detectives are the extensions of the women investigators in the antecedent feminist revisions of the hard-boiled stories which are heavily influenced by the second-wave feminist values. However, Tana French also inserts her own commentary on the new variants of female character shaped by the new post-feminist discourse which separates her women detectives from those in the antecedent feminist hard-boiled revision series.

Abstract:
Legal regulation of Lithuanian, Latvian, Russian private detectives activities provide additional opportunities for private detectives to create added value in their practice. Special laws of the countries in question that regulate their activities, give private detectives exclusive rights to provide detective services, therefore activities of other entities in this field is considered unlawful, and carries administrative and criminal liability. Another important statutory regulatory aspect of detective activities is that detectives can be recognized by law, within certain boundaries, to legally collect information about another persons private life, which is completely forbidden for any other private individual and collecting another person's private information, caries criminal and civil liability. And so the legislator has strictly limited the amount of entities that can provide services within the scope of detective activities and the content they are allowed to handle. The author presents two types of services as an example: the search of a debtor and his assets, a person's solvency and reliability evaluation. It is recommendable to employ educational measures to expand market demand for legal services that only detectives have the right to provide.

Abstract:
Since the revision of the 「Credit Information Use and Protection Act (hereinafter referred to as the Credit Information Act)」 in 2020, private detective work has been legally allowed in South Korea. However, the boundary between legal and illegal acts is ambiguous in private detective activities as related laws that specify the scope of the private detective's work have not been enacted. In addition, since the 「Stalking Crime Punishment Act (hereinafter referred to as the Stalking Punishment Act)」 took effect in October 2021, there have been cases in which private detectives who performed their duties through tailing techniques were punished for stalking crimes, so it is urgent to come up with related measures. This study points out the problem that even the follow-up and subsequent acts of private detectives within the scope of work can be a stalking crime. To search for solutions, this study analyzed the Japanese cases that implement the 「Act on Appropriateness of Private Detective Business (hereinafter referred to as the Japanese Detective Business Act)」 and the 「Act on the Regulation of Stalker Acts (hereinafter referred to as the Stalker Regulation Act)」. Based on this, this study reviewed the relationship between the 「Private Detective Business Management Bill (hereinafter referred to as the Detective Business Bill) pending in the National Assembly and the 「Stalking Punishment Act」 and suggested ways to improve the Private Detective Business Bill.

Abstract:
The detective system is a common system in OECD member countries, but it is not easy to find in Korea because the detective system is legally prohibited. However, with the revision of the 「Act on Use and Protection of Credit Information」 in 2020, detectives are now able to engage in commercial activities. Even though profit-making activities have become possible, in reality, no laws related to detectives have been enacted, and discussions about what kind of work detectives should perform are constantly being raised. Accordingly, this study sought to verify the tasks that detectives must perform through a Delphi survey. Delphi research can be said to be the most appropriate research method because it can predict problematic areas and future trends in detective work. In this study, major issues related to the work of detectives and the introduction of the detective system were identified among eight people. As a result of the study, the main task of a detective was to identify the whereabouts of children and adolescents who ran away from home and missing persons, and additional tasks such as factual investigation were presented as additional tasks. In addition, it was suggested that the detective system should be operated under a permission system, with the National Police Agency as the subject of management and supervision, nationally recognized qualifications as the qualification, and a training period of about 3 to 6 months entrusted by the National Police Agency. Based on these results, we attempted to suggest a policy direction for the detective system.

That combination of patience, calm and curiosity makes for the perfect detective, capable of surveillance of suspects even in difficult circumstances. Women detectives surfaced in English Literature from the outset of the genre. This paper outlines their evolution and also refers to the most famous women crime writers and their fictional detectives.Key words: women, detectives, English novels, Nordic novels, Spanish novels.La novela de detectives es el marco idóneo para las características arquetípicas de las mujeres.

Abstract:
Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are undergoing a long-term transformation from a system of punitive law enforcement agencies to European-style law enforcement agencies, which should focus on providing services to the population and respecting human rights. One of the areas of the reform was the introduction of the Detective project in the National Police of Ukraine. It should be noted that detective work in Ukraine is a new type of professional activity. However, it should be noted that legal regulation of detective work of both civil servants (law enforcement detectives) and private detectives is absent in Ukraine, although in many countries around the world private detective work is legalized and benefits society. The adoption of the Law "On Private Detective Activity" will allow to establish proper state control over this type of activity at the legislative level and will legalize private detective activity, which is actually carried out, is in demand and recognized by society. However, there is an indisputable opinion in Ukraine that law enforcement activities can be performed exclusively by state structures. And the introduction and operation of private detectives will put an end to the state monopoly in this direction. However, there are also positive points: first of all, several thousand private detective agencies and private detectives must come out of the shadow, pay taxes, report to the police about criminal offenses that are being prepared or committed, provide intelligence, etc. Based on the above, we conclude that legislative regulation of such activities is required for the full work of police and private detectives, including amendments to the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On Investigative Activities", departmental orders and instructions, in particular, to the Instruction on the organization of interaction of pre-trial investigative agencies with other agencies and units of the National Police of Ukraine in preventing criminal offenses. detection and investigation, approved by the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine dated from July 7, 2017, No. 575.

Resumo: A síntese deste trabalho é a ressignificação da detective fiction em Los detectives salvajes, de Roberto Bolaño. O ponto de partida são os vários textos do autor que têm a figura do detetive na intitulação, sendo esse apenas um dos vários aspectos que recorre na obra bolañiana. Entendendo que a enorme rede de relações que existe em seus textos é sugestiva de seu projeto literário, coerentemente será assumida uma visão transtextual para a análise da narrativa: através de textos críticos de Bolaño, de sua obra ficcional geral e do histórico da detective fiction, algumas interpretações serão traçadas para que se perceba de que forma novos sentidos deste gênero podem ser atribuídos a Los detectives salvajes. Para isso, será feita uma análise conjectural, num nível fragmentário, e nunca totalizante

Abstract:
The thesis presents a qualitative research study on how police detectives experience, understand, and think about the process of doing serious and complex criminal investigations. The data was collected using a semi- structured, in-depth interview with a group of sixty-four experienced police investigators from Australia, New Zealand, various State Police Services in America and the FBI. The empirical research methodology of phenomenography was employed to gather and analysis the interview transcripts for this group of detectives. The aim of this phenomenographic approach was to elicit the variation in the investigative experience both within individual detectives and between detectives in the group studied. Upon analysis, the variation in this group of detectives' conceptions about doing a criminal investigation was captured in a set of four hierarchically ordered and qualitatively different categories of description. These four categories reflect particular cognitive styles or preferred ways of investigative thinking that experienced investigators rely upon throughout the investigative process. The four 'Investigative Thinking Styles' start with the application of the 'Method' style of investigative thinking, through to the 'Challenge' style, and then onto the 'Skill' style, and finally up to and including the 'Risk' thinking style. These four styles constitute a theoretical model of investigation that has important practical implications for the recruitment, selection, and training of investigating officers as well as for the case management of investigations and the use of investigative teams for major crime investigations.

Abstract:
The thesis explores the role of academic education in police professionalisation. Due to its high complexity, specialisation and status, detective work is well-suited for illustrating these developments and the practical and symbolic benefits they can bring to the police and policing as a whole. The overall approach of thesis is iterative. Literature from police studies and sociology of professions provides the conceptual and theoretical framework for the empirical data of 24 semi-structured interviews conducted with 14 police national training coordinators and local police trainers. The increasing academisation of police training and the formalisation of the police-academia relationships suggest police professionalisation has reached a tipping point. This is seen in the current investigative skills training in England and Wales, which is characterised by growing centralisation, standardisation, and emphasis on formalising the professional knowledgebase of investigations and policing – a trend which the Professionalising Investigation Programme exemplifies. While the police (including the investigative specialism) can be shown to display many of the qualities of professions, it has lacked the level of instructional abstraction characterising other professions, typically provided by higher education and, crucially, leading to externally recognised qualifications. Developing academic police education is not without its challenges, chief among them the perceived epistemological and cultural divide between the ‘two worlds’ of police and academia. A successful transformation requires careful consideration of the content and format of the arrangements, investment, support, acceptance and engagement from police, academia and government, and a simultaneous change to cultural dispositions (habitus) and internal and external structures (field). This is worth the effort as a number of practical and symbolic benefits of police academic education can be identified. It has the potential to improve the quality of service by deepening police knowledge and understanding and facilitating community-oriented approaches. More importantly, academic education bestows a rich cultural capital, strengthens and legitimises police expertise, market monopoly, and status in the eyes of the public, other professions and the government. It enables the survival of the profession, giving it the tools to prevail in conflicts over competence and the right to define and interpret policing and its social context. In summary, police professionalisation via academic education can be explained in terms of agency and structure both; as a deliberate occupational upgrading spurred by social and economic aspirations and aimed to reconceptualise and relegitimise policing; and as an inevitable reaction to wider changes and a deeper ontological shift taking place in the society.

Abstract:
La novela Los detectives salvajes, publicada en noviembre del año 1998 es la obra de Roberto Bolaño sobre la que centraremos la investigación del presente informe. En este estudio se pretende leer esta novela desde los conceptos de “sujeto” y de “mediatización” a partir del análisis del tipo de sujeto que se configura en la obra de Bolaño y las relaciones de éste con el “poder” en la sociedad posmoderna. Nos situamos ante la obra de Bolaño como si ésta fuera un espejo contradictorio en el que nos vemos reflejados por personajes tan fascinantes en su caracterización que sólo reconoceríamos como sujetos novelescos pero que, en algunos momentos, viven experiencias tan cotidianas que bien podrían ser las propias. Este primer acercamiento a la variedad y complejidad de personajes que se movilizan entre el Distrito Federal de México y otros lugares geográficos en la novela, propicia la intención de leer esta obra desde el concepto de sujeto -tratando de desentrañar las particularidades de su construcción- y, a partir de su análisis, determinar su lugar en la novela actual.

Abstract:
As a popular fiction hero Sherlock Holmes, embodies a mythical champion of enduring appeal, confirmed in his recent rebranding as defender of the oppressed for the twenty first century in a television series geared for the modern age. Stepping outside the boundaries of the law, he achieves an individualised form of justice superior to that of the judicial system in the eyes of his readers, yet, as I argue in this study, his long list of criminal offences places him firmly in the realms of criminality. This thesis explores the fictional discretionary lawbreaking of Sherlock Holmes and a range of contemporaneous maverick literary detectives and spies in popular literature produced between 1880 and the end of the First World War, including Martin Hewitt, Dick Donovan, Judith Lee, Hagar Stanley, Charles Carruthers and Arthur Davies, Richard Hannay and Bulldog Drummond. From Holmes to Hagar Stanley, the urban gypsy, my aim is to unearth the reasons for, the motivations behind and the implications of, the illegal behaviour of these fictional detectives. Charting the criminal liminality of amateur and professional detectives who manipulate justice on the mandatory authority of readers of popular fiction, I investigate the works in an interdisciplinary study that focuses on socio-cultural, historical, criminological and legal perspectives. In the light of a range of influences that created societal change, including the rise of professional society, evolving perceptions of crime, criminals and the law and the impact of societal shift from a religious to a secular morality, I engage with themes of gender, class and race revealing the discrimination and marginalisation endured by much of the population. My argument in this thesis counters the wholly Foucauldian view of D. A Miller in The Novel and the Police (1988) and Stephen Knight in Form and Ideology in Crime Fiction (1980), amongst others, who see the role of the fictional detective as embedding discipline, rational order and regulation in the reading public. Instead I argue that the behaviour of the literary detective represents a challenge to authority, which destabilises the status quo by shedding light on deep-rooted injustices at the heart of the judicial system. Each of the chapters in the study highlights aspects of the criminal justice system that run counter to the principles of justice, and traces the waning influence of morality on decision making as detectives mutate into spies near the turn of the century. My choice of texts from the works of eight authors in a combination of eighteen short story and novel works from popular culture, is based mostly on writers whose work featured in the pages of the popular (by popular I refer to authors who have published in magazines as well as in board collections) entertainment Strand Magazine in the course of their literary careers and who went on to achieve popular success, thus creating a shared connection and literary bond between the authors.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the legal status of private detective work in the Republic of Serbia, especially after the adoption of the major Law on Detective Activity, as well as the adoption of bylaws for the implementation of this regulation. The introduction to the paper, in the function of the topic, briefly points to private security as a subsystem of the security system and, in this regard, to private detective work as an integral part. The development of private detective activity and private security was accompanied by social, political, economic and other changes in our country after the disintegration of the former SFRY and the independence of Serbia. In the central part, the legislative framework of private detective activity in our country is presented, important solutions in the function of providing services in the community are pointed out and a critical review of the application of regulations in practice is given. Solutions in terms of organization, work, authority and control of legality in the work of private detectives were analyzed. A good legal framework and sustainable solutions are important because of our country's application for EU membership. The conclusion points to the need to harmonize the national legislation of Serbia with EU law, accept good foreign and develop domestic practice, as well as strengthen the mechanisms of control and supervision of the work of private detectives in the function of the rule of law.
