Write a 200 words Paragraph APA format with citations. As you learned in Module 2, trends in crime are often measured in various ways to assist investigative agencies in detecting increases or decreases in criminal behavior. To ensure accuracy in collecting such data, agencies use a universally accepted vocabulary of terms and definitions that emerge from reporting crimes through the UCR and the NCVS. Arrests are also recorded as one means of determining enforcement efficiency and where arrests aren’t made, exceptional clearances are an accepted protocol if specific requirements are met. Criminal investigations are typically progressive, meaning they all start with a set of unknowns that ultimately mature into clearer details about the crime, the offender, and the victim(s). For example, the differences between mass murder and serial homicide may not be immediately apparent, yet modern criminal investigative techniques can often lead to uncovering criminal acts that may begin as assault investigations but graduate into more violent crimes such as aggravated assault, homicide, or even serial murders if supporting evidence brings that potential to the investigation. The availability and use of advanced investigative methods might lead investigators to the identification and apprehension of offenders involved in more than simple assault. While technology is increasingly used to expand and enhance investigative techniques to apprehend violent killers, serial killers remain the most difficult violent offenders to apprehend, describe, and explain. As you explore this module, consider how such things as trends in crime, recording statistics to measure efficiency, using a common vocabulary of terms, and how criminal investigations evolve can impact the pursuit of killers. In so doing, ask yourself and your colleagues: What are principal factors that allow serial killers to continue offending? How might law enforcement agencies adapt, to be more successful in catching these unique killers? Refer to course content to support your response.
