Question 2
Which of the following statements is a major recommendation that arose from the PERF study?
A) Since physical evidence is seldom used in identifying suspects, less emphasis should be placed on gathering such evidence.
B) Police departments should develop policies and guidelines encouraging the use of evidence technicians in routine cases such as burglary and robbery even when there has been no physical injury to victims.
