Forensically aware offenders and homicide investigations: challenges, opportunities and impacts

Pages S128-S131 | Received 06 Dec 2018, Accepted 08 Jan 2019, Published online: 22 Jan 2019
 

ABSTRACT

Offender forensic awareness may negatively impact on an investigation. The detection avoidance behaviours of 22 police-trained murderers were examined. Offenders with forensic awareness appear to use many detection avoidance strategies depending on their relationship with the victim and whether they stage the crime scene. Common themes included body disposal; planning and making threats to kill; a history of deception; and interfering with the investigation.
