Tip

The seven questions of

criminology

There is a list of questions that should

be answered after any crime. They

are known as the seven questions of

criminology.

1. Where did the crime happen?

2. What happened? What did the

perpetrator do?

3. Who took part? As victim, culprit, or

witness, for example.

4. When did the crime occur?

5. How did the event happen?

6. With what, i.e. with what tool or

weapon, did the perpetrator do his

work?

7. Why did the perpetrator commit

the act? There is usually a reason,

or motive, that helps to explain the

crime.

Crime scene sketch and crime

scene report

If a person suspected of a crime has

been found, sometimes after months

have passed, one has to be able to prove

that the crime was committed by that

person. Of course, when working at the

scene of the crime one doesn’t yet know

which pieces of evidence will later be

important. That means that everything

has to be studied carefully and every

detail retained: What does the crime

scene look like? Where exactly is it

situated? Which piece of evidence

was found at what location? Was the

light on or off? Doors and windows

open or shut? What was discovered

on the table, in the waste basket, in the

closets?

All the information has to be recorded

in a crime scene report. Secure and

record evidence from a crime scene

immediately, and don’t just rely on your

memory. The very next day you will have

forgotten whether a certain fingerprint

was found on the desk lamp, door,

window, or coffee cup.

Your crime scene report will also

include statements from the victim,

witnesses, and suspects. These have

to be compared with the evidence that

was discovered and with the other

statements, and you should study them

for inaccuracies and lies. A crime scene

sketch will help you to orient yourself

later on.
