I did my senior project on detectives. Detectives have many different tasks, and are known for doing many different things. All around the world there are detectives that work day in and day out and are always prepared for a phone call at one or two in the morning. Just like cops, detectives put their lives on the line everyday going to scenes and never knowing if they will make it home, but in fact always hoping they will return home to their families. In this paper, I will explain not all that they do, but a little bit of what they do. For starters, they investigate many different things such as homicide, aggravated assault, domestic violence, battery, sexual assault, suicide, and special victims.

There are many different types of lineups, but the 3 most common are photo lineups, drive by lineups, and eyewitness identification lineups. Lastly, there are many different types of safety kits they have to carry around at all times, but I’m gonna describe 4 I thought were most important. The 4 types are a blood collection kit, bloodstain pattern documentation kit, excavation kit, and finally, a fingerprint evidence identifier kit.
To go more along the lines of the everyday scenarios they are assigned to, homicide is a common one. Homicide is known as one human killing another. Homicide can be justified, or unjustified. A way that could justify murder is if you kill someone during a war that is involved in the war. Detectives also deal with aggravated assault which is known as an attempt to cause serious bodily injury to another knowingly or recklessly. Next, there is domestic violence. Domestic violence is violent or aggressive behavior within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse, partner, or children. Battery crimes are crimes involving the unlawful physical acting upon a threat, distinct from assault which is the act of creating apprehension of such contact. In the United States, criminal battery is the use of force …show more content…
One of the many ways a victim can chose their attacker is by performing a photo lineup. A photo lineup is a lineup of 10 photos, and the suspects picture will be in one of the photos. The victim will then attempt to recall details of the attack, as well as the physical appearance of the attacker. If it is recalled correctly, the suspect will then be chosen. This line up used to be known as a “six-pack” because “Six-pack” is slang for a single sheet of paper with a photo of the suspect and five others who bear a resemblance. Also, the photo lineup never put the suspect in the very first photo. This is because the investigating officer places one "filler photograph" into one of the empty folders and numbers it as folder 1. The administrator places the "suspect photograph" and the other four filler photographs into five other empty folders, shuffles the five folders so that the administrator is unaware of which folder contains the "suspect photograph," and numbers the five shuffled folders as folders 2 through 6. Folders number 7 through 10 serve as "dummy folders"(http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2933.83). The officer with the victim cannot in any way, shape, or form interfere with the victim's choice. Photo lineups are typically not used when the victim already
