Recalling the lack of scholarly literature on investigation noted earlier, Rossmo first proposes to outline the anatomy of a criminal investigation: the underlying structure of an investigation, its main purposes and objectives, and, by the same token, why it can fail (e.g., failure to solve the crime; miscarriage of justice). Using the example of the Canadian investigation into the murder of Gail Miller that led to the wrongful conviction of David Milgaard, Rossmo highlights the systemic problems in the investigation that lead to these failures, and emphasizes the unconditional importance of the relevance, reliability, and robustness of the evidence. In doing so, Rossmo’s article highlights areas for improvement in order to maximize the likelihood of success of an investigation, while minimizing its risks of failure. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Subscription at source 23/11/2021 Research article Linking Serial Sex Offences Using Standard, Iterative, and Multiple Classification Trees Studies have shown that it is possible to link serial crimes in an accurate fashion based on the statistical analysis of crime scene information. Logistic regression (LR) is one of the most common statistical methods in use and yields relatively accurate linking decisions. However, some research suggests there may be added value in using classification tree (CT) analysis to discriminate between offences committed by the same vs. different offenders. This study explored how three variations of CT analysis can be applied to the crime linkage task. Drawing on a sample of serial sexual assaults from Quebec, Canada, we examine the predictive accuracy of standard, iterative, and multiple CTs, and we contrast the results with LR analysis. Our results revealed that all statistical approaches achieved relatively high (and similar) levels of predictive accuracy, but CTs produce idiographic linking strategies that may be more appealing to practitioners. Future research will need to examine if and how these CTs can be useful as decision aides in operational settings.
