Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students should choose five from: motivation, intuition, stability, judgment, street knowledge, team work, persistence, reliability, intelligence, dedication, and integrity. Their rational as to why these characteristics are important will be different and their personal application of these qualities will also vary. It is important that they give specific reasoning and concrete examples.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The objectives of a criminal investigation are to detect crime, locate and identify suspects in crimes, locate, document, and preserve evidence in crimes, arrest suspects in crimes, recover stolen property, and prepare sound criminal cases for prosecution. Investigative skills of discovering the how, when, and where of crime is a skill that is needed in criminal investigation. Locating evidence, witnesses, and informants is also a needed skill.
