Homicide Investigations

It is because of the media that policing agencies are able to reach as many people as they do. In emergency situations the general public turns to the media for “guidance”, and during child abductions, the media informs the public with information to help find the child. More specifically the media will let the public know what the child was wearing, there hair color, eye color, age and other detail.

Each passing hour gives suspects more time to get away, witnesses more time to forget what they saw, and crucial evidence more time to be lost forever. There are several steps to take in solving a homicide.

Since the time that the scientific science dramatization "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" turned into a tremendous hit and generated its fans, reporters have been worried about what they instituted the "CSI Effect."
