Abstract

This report presented in 1999 at the UNAFEI, 111th International Seminar on "The Role of the Police, Prosecution, and the Judiciary in the Changing Society" discussed effective measures for better detection of crime and more thorough investigations. Law enforcement must now contend with the fast pace of urbanization and industrialization, greater and more efficient means of communication, internationalization of certain crimes, and the emergence of white-collar criminality. Crime prevention is a much larger and wider subject of police specialization and professionalism. The problems faced and discussed with recommended solutions in the detection and investigation of crimes were identified in two areas: (1) enhancing investigative systems; and (2) enhancing better detection of crime and more thorough investigation.
