This special issue of Homicide Studies devotes attention to the how of homicide investigation. Much like the Homicide Research Working Group itself, this issue calls attention to the contributions of both practical and academic homicide experts. We were looking for manuscripts that examined or extended the various facets of investigating homicide. The processes and practices of law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and investigators greatly affect case resolution. How these entities interact as well as engage with members of the community go far in determining case success and views of efficacy.

凶杀案调查

本期《凶杀研究》特别关注如何进行凶杀调查。就像凶杀研究工作组本身一样，本期引起人们对实际杀人和学术杀人专家的贡献的关注。我们正在寻找可检验或扩展调查凶杀案各个方面的手稿。执法机构，检察官和调查员的程序和做法极大地影响了案件的解决。这些实体如何相互作用以及如何与社区成员互动，在确定案件成功率和效力观点方面意义重大。
