Answer to Question 1

Answer: 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. The goals of the study were to determine how police investigations were organized and managed, as well as to assess various activities as they relate to the effectiveness of overall police functioning. The findings included: the need for post-arrest activities to be coordinated more closely with the prosecutor's office, the investigative roles of patrol officers be expanded, additional resources to process, organize, and search for latent prints, and investigators distinguishing between cases that can be handled clerically and those that require specially trained investigators. The analysis regarding current police roles, activities, and investigation tools will vary.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary. The paper should discuss in detail how the show distorts realities of real world of criminal investigations. Televisions portray the classic good versus evil, and good always wins. This is not the case in real criminal investigations. Many cases go unsolved, or end in an unsuccessful prosecution.
