say a serial killer is also a scientist. so he takes detailed research notes on every murder he commits. and he gets away with killing over and over again. after some time, he will either get caught, or he will get away with it. someday, someone will find the papers he left, or he will try to profit from it himself. would it be moral or just to use this murderer's research? \n\nit is theoretically possible that the information from that murderer's crimes could be useful to the living. but in using it, aren't we disrespecting the victims? aren't we disregarding the methods used to obtain the information? say he was living, and still attempting to justify his actions from prison, or to himself in secret... wouldn't it be helping him justify the worth of his heinous acts? it's like paying him, if not with money then with respect. it's an untenable position.

Good Luck! I have always wanted to be a Private Investigator!\n\nFactual investigations are often conducted in respect to contractual disputes, insurance claims, litigated matters in respect to personal injuries, physical damage or financial losses. \n\nClients which include insurers, government departments and authorities, financiers, corporations, individuals and law firms, provide the specific instructions and scope for the assignments to be undertaken by factual investigators. Those instructions can be brief or detailed depending on the nature of the matter and the experience of the investigator. Assignments are often requested and treated on an urgent basis. Many instructions include budgetary limits for the investigator. \n\nThe work of a factual investigator involves conducting interviews and gathering evidence including records of interviews, statements, photographs, documents and other physical evidence. The principal purpose is always "to collect and report the facts only" - this allows the client to make a commercial and informed decision. \n\nInvestigators are expected to be professional and objective. They do not approach matters on the basis of only gathering evidence helpful to the client's case retained - any attempt to do so provides no value to a client seeking to reach a fair, ethical and appropriate resolution of a claim or dispute. \n\nEssentially a competent and successful factual investigator will possess: \n\n\nMaturity, honesty, integrity and a fine sense of ethics; \n\nGood people skills including the ability to empathise with others; \n\nAn inquiring mind; \n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills; \n\nGood keyboarding skills; \n\nAn attitude of paying close attention to detail; and \n\nA consistent work methodology.

Patient zero is also commonly referred to as the index case. Determining the index case is essential to control or tracking a disease progression. By determining the index case you can determine all the possible people that could have contracted that disease and possible determine the source.

It is extremely useful in doing any kind of research-based analysis.  For example, let's just say you are studying a large number of mice, collected in the field.  You want to examine their health based on their environment, and you are specifically looking at environmental toxins.  You survey the farmers at each collection point, and ask what fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. they use.  You record all of the data, and do testing on the mice to determine what their toxin levels are.  Then you also wish to see what problems may be associated in the mice with a specific toxin.  But you have some mice that are way off the charts in terms of averages for a certain element or toxin.  Does this taint the result?  Did these mice somehow contact those toxins abnormally (i.e. "experimental contamination")? Should you throw those "outliers" out of the data to keep them from skewing the statistics?  What do you do with these?  Here is where a good knowledge of probabilities and of statistics will really come in handy.  \n\nAs they say, figures don't lie, but liars can figure.  One's use of proper mathematical science can render the biological science either useful or useless.

(m)\n\nMath Mysteries offers an effective way to teach basic skills for solving word problems like those found on state tests. Students learn how to understand the problem, collect information, solve the problem, and check their answer. Best of all, students interact with engaging characters to unravel an intriguing mystery, answering word problems every step of the way! \n\nThe mystery in Measurement revolves around a top-secret underwater mission. All communication has been lost with Outpost Omega, a research station far beneath the surface. You've been enlisted to make contact with the outpost crew. The crews on the surface ship and at the outpost will brief you on the string of mysterious events that leads to a surprising discovery.

A peice of handwriting can be submitted as evidence and an analyst called to the stand to answer questions about what he sees, but it's a kind of out-there approach. I wouldn't recommend it at all if you don't hire a professional analyst.

Homicide Detectives are plainclothes investigators who specialize in gathering facts and collecting evidence for criminal cases involving murder.\n\nMost of the work involves conducting interviews, examining records, monitoring the activities of suspects, and participating in raids or arrests.\n\nCases are assigned on a rotating basis and homicide detectives work on them until they result in an arrest or conviction, or until the case is dropped. They may be assigned to interagency task forces, when, for instance, a murder incident involves other areas of crime investigation, such as narcotics.\n\nCareer Description for a Homicide Detective\nWhile contributing to an investigation to solve a case, the homicide detective may carry out the following duties:\n\nExamining the scene of crime to obtain clues and gather evidence. \nQuestioning witnesses. \nQuestioning individuals linked to homicide victims or to suspects. \nInvestigating and interviewing suspects. \nInvestigating known or suspected criminals to detect criminal activity or clues. \nInvestigating particular facts of the case to identify salient leads. \nVisiting known haunts and mixing with criminals to obtain information relevant to the case. \nWriting reports for submission to the officer in charge. \nConducting arrests or assisting in the arrests of criminals and suspects. \nPreparing cases for court, in line with formal procedures. \nTestifying before courts or juries. \n\nWould a Homicide Detective Career Suit You?\nA police detectice career can be very dangerous and stressful. Officers need to be constantly alert and ready to deal with a range of threatening situations, including violence from suspected criminals. The experience of being present at murder scenes can be acutely stressful.\n\nThis kind of career can have a strong impact on the individual's personal life. Hours can be unpredictable and irregular, with paid overtime being common. Shift work is necessary. Junior officers frequently work weekends, holidays and nights. Detectives are required to work at any time, with especially long hours during investigations. Officers are frequently expected to be armed and to exercise their arrest authority whenever necessary, including outside working hours.\n\nOutstanding personal characteristics required are honesty, good judgement, integrity, and a sense of responsibility. An interest in people is essential, together with the ability to relate at all levels. The ability to withstand pressure and make sound, objective judgements and decisions in difficult circumstances is critical. Credibility as a witness is vital, as are good communication skills. The willingness to confront and resolve problems, coupled with good observational skills, is also important. Good physical health is a requirement.\n\nSalary and Prospects for a Detective Career\nPolice officers usually become eligible for promotion after a probationary period ranging from six months to three years. In a large department, officers are promoted to detective and are assigned to investigative work after completing the appropriate selection and training. As they gain experience, they may gain further promotion and become responsible for controlling, planning and organizing the work of others.\n\nCompetition is keen for higher paying jobs in affluent areas. Career opportunities for a homicide detective are more widespread both in local and special police departments that offer relatively low salaries, and in urban communities with relatively high crime rates. College training in police science or military police experience gives an applicant a distinct advantage.\n\nFurther career promotion to higher ranks usually depends on the detective's position on a promotion list, which is determined by scores on a written examination and on-the-job performance.
