According to An Introduction to Policing textbook, solvability factors are, “factors considered in determining whether or not a case should be assigned for a follow-up investigation” (Dempsey & Forst, 2016, p.304).

Unfortunately, a grand majority of today’s society makes the ill-fated judgement that police officers only pass out speeding tickets…
