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

ngerprint 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.
