Produktbeschreibung

What causes competent and dedicated investigators to make avoidable mistakes? Authored by a 21-year police veteran and university research professor, this astute volume defines and discusses the problems most common to failed investigations. Exploring cognitive biases, organizational traps, and probability errors, the first three chapters lay the foundation for the remainder of the book, which consists of contributions from scholars, police investigators, and journalists that elaborate on the core points and present relevant cases. This text provides practical advice for avoiding investigative failures and is an invaluable reference for investigators seeking the truth.
