Abstract This article seeks to advance the narrative regarding the police criminal investigation process into the new millennium. First, the old story of the ineffective reactive traditional investigation process is summarized. Then a new story uses a new theoretical proposition regarding crime to examine why a variety of historical detective models failed. A consistent theme emerges that the public, often at the expense of their own security, repeatedly rejected and/or constrained each of the past models because they encroached upon individual liberties. Finally, a new detective model is proposed that directly addresses this liberty vs. security issue.

新千年的刑事调查-一个新的故事

摘要本文旨在将有关警察刑事侦查过程的叙述推进到新的千年。首先，总结了无效的被动式传统调查过程的古老故事。然后，一个新故事使用了有关犯罪的新理论命题，以检验各种历史侦探模型为何失败。出现了一个一致的主题，即公众常常以牺牲自身安全为代价，一再拒绝和/或限制过去的每种模式，因为它们侵犯了个人自由。最后，提出了一种新的侦探模型，该模型直接解决了自由与安全的问题。
