Introduction
Post-crime investigations are an essential process that involves many factors. One of the most important is the scene of the crime and the testimony of the victim and witnesses. After a crime has been committed, each of these factors undergoes extensive changes, making it impossible to investigate the crime in detail. To this end, laws have been created to regulate interference in such structures and to enable an analysis of the complete picture of the crime.
Discussion
After analyzing each of the articles, one can conclude that this strategy could be applied to all of them. In the first situation, a 17-year-old teenager was arrested for killing two people, 18-year-old Devin Clark and 14-year-old Lyric Woods. In this case, it was possible not to use a weapon but to arrest the teenager, who might not have been at fault. Using the method of post-crime analysis, it was possible to establish the involvement of the child (CBS News, 2022a).
The second case is about an actor Anthony Rapp who has accused Kevin Spacey of making a sexual advance on him as a 14-year-old (CBS News, 2022b). In opposition to this, Spacey’s legal team has said, that Rapp’s accusation is false. The second article, unlike the first, demonstrates the application of the post-crime analysis method through careful investigation of past situations and shows how well it can work (CBS News, 2022b).
Conclusion
The third case is about San Antonio Officer James Brennand who shot a teenager, 17-year-old Erik Cantu. The incident happened in the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant. Applying the post-crime investigation method, it was understandable, that there was no reason to shoot. The third article reflects the speed with which the practice of investigation works (CBS News, 2022c). It talks about finding criminals and how this method works under ideal conditions, which are rare.
