IDENTIFICATION IN POLICE INVESTIGATION

Identity in Different Types of Crimes

Identity (Who) in Burglary

The search for the identity of the burglar should begin at the very outset of an investigation. Once the investigation has established the corpus delicti of burglary, the investigation should be centered on the identity and apprehension of the burglar. Identity of the burglar is known to be established in many ways. Many burglars are seen by people inside the place and are apprehended and identified by their description of them. Sometimes witnesses may see the burglar move, but not realize that the burglary has been committed until later. Eye-witnesses may identify such suspects, describe a known burglar, or someone who was acting suspiciously near the place. An investigation of known burglars may reveal that this person was in the vicinity. Examination of the modus operandi may reveal evidence of similar characteristics in a known burglar’s handiwork (работа, рукоделие).

Stolen goods may be found, traced to the burglar and his identity established. A suspect may be away from his usual place at the time the burglary was committed. Stool pigeons (осведомитель) are often invaluable in revealing the identity of burglars. The fact that a person supports himself or spends money freely without visible means of support may reveal identity. Fingerprints, footprints, tool marking and other physical evidence are certain to establish leads (руководство/указание) to identity.

Flight (бегство) or absence of a certain person during an investigation may give leads to clues to his identity.

All these characteristics and many others are expected to be the means which first point to a certain person as suspected, and, later, identify the burglar. Identity proves to be the best established when there are confessions, admissions, or identifications by eye-witnesses. If the evidence allows presumption of guilt the case is ready for prosecution and arrest.

IDENTITY IN ROBBERY

The main purpose of investigation of robbery is considered to find means by which the robber can be identified. The corpus delicti is usually easily proved by the evidence obtained from the victim.

Identity in some cases is likely to be made by the victim or other witnesses who recognized the robber by some identifying characteristics in his face or body, speech, clothing, mannerisms, license plates, etc. Witness may appear to identify his picture from others in identification bureaus. The description of the robber may correspond to some person in the vicinity (окрестности, соседство) and be identified that way. Sometimes identity may be learned through fingerprints, footprints, fibers or other physical evidence that will reveal a suspect. Ownership or possession of weapons can also be identified. Identity is also sometimes established by confession. Once the identity of the robber is known the next step is to apprehend him unless he is already taken. If taken and identified, the case is ready for prosecution.

Identity in Crimes of Malice (преступное намерение ), Assault (нападение)

Assaults are known to arise impulsively in many cases between people who are acquainted and in close proximity (близость) to each other. Usually in each case there are other witnesses to the assault, and identification of the assailant (противник, нападающая сторона) is easy. However, if only a description is available, quite possibly the assailant may be a nearby resident. Assault may appear to have been part of other crimes.

At any rate, the important problem then is to learn the identity of the assailant. The methods of determining a suspect are similar to those used in robbery. A description of the assailant should be secured, the victim should visit the rogues gallery (галерея преступников) and inspect the photographs of criminals, a search may be made in the vicinity and so on.
