In the late 1970s, the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice awarded a grant to the RAND Corporation to undertake a nationwide study of criminal investigations by police agencies in major U.S. cities. Which of the statements below identify a major recommendation of this study?
◦ Less serious crimes, such as drug violations, gambling, and prostitution, are major causes of serious crimes such as murder, rape, and robbery.
◦ Patrol officers should be afforded greater responsibilities in conducting preliminary investigations, providing greater case-screening capabilities for investigators while eliminating redundancy.
◦ Crimes that require special investigative abilities should be handled by patrol officers and thus agencies should eliminate specialized investigators.
◦ There should be less emphasis on increased forensic resources for processing latent fingerprints and more emphasis on intelligence gathering.
