Research on effective responses to sexual offenses is much needed and ongoing. This edited book presents the current state of research on investigative techniques used in sex crime investigations, and the operational challenges and issues that arise in these investigations. Including an international cohort of scholars from various academic backgrounds, it reviews current efforts in key areas, synthesizing the research to make recommendations for the improvement of investigative practices and the criminal justice system?s response to sexual offenses. Each chapter includes a brief introduction to the topic, a review of the research, and a discussion of the key points relevant to investigators and researchers as they move forward. The book is broken down into four themes: suspect prioritization and identification techniques, investigative interviewing, operational challenges and issues, and the investigation of specific types of sex crimes. With its broad coverage and international scope, this volume fills the gap in knowledge for investigators working on sex crimes cases. With its easy-to-read style and clear analysis of the research, this is the perfect volume for investigators and law enforcement officers, policy makers and researchers, and students in criminology and criminal justice, forensic psychology, and victim services. Depicts the current state of empirical knowledge and findings related to investigative techniques used in sex crimes investigations; Analyzes the operational challenges that surface in sex crimes investigations; Includes an easy-to-read literature review of the most up-to-date research on sex crime investigation; Concentrates on effective investigative techniques for those cases where forensic techniques will not suffice. 606 $aCriminal behavior 606 $aForensic psychology 606 $aCriminal Behavior 606 $aForensic Psychology 615 0$aCriminal behavior. 615 0$aForensic psychology. 615 14$aCriminal Behavior. 615 24$aForensic Psychology. 676 $a363.2595 702 $aDeslauriers-Varin$b Nadine 702 $aBennell$b Craig 712 02$aProQuest (Firm) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOOCC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910510544003321 996 $aCriminal Investigations of Sexual Offenses$92551217 997 $aUNINA
