IDENTIFICATION IN POLICE INVESTIGATION Identity in Different Types of Crimes
Identity (Who) in Burglary
The search for the identity of the burglar should begin at the very outset
of an investigation. Once the investigation has established the corpus delicti of
burglary, the investigation should be centered on the identity and
apprehension of the burglar. Identity of the burglar is known to be
established in many ways. Many burglars are seen by people inside the place
and are apprehended and identified by their description of them. Sometimes
witnesses may see the burglar move, but not realize that the burglary has been
committed until later. Eye-witnesses may identify such suspects, describe a
known burglar, or someone who was acting suspiciously near the place. An
investigation of known burglars may reveal that this person was in the
vicinity. Examination of the modus operandi may reveal evidence of similar
characteristics in a known burglar’s handiwork (работа, рукоделие).
Stolen goods may be found, traced to the burglar and his identity
established. A suspect may be away from his usual place at the time the burglary
was committed. Stool pigeons (осведомитель) are often invaluable in revealing
the identity of burglars. The fact that a person supports himself or spends money
freely without visible means of support may reveal identity. Fingerprints,
footprints, tool marking and other physical evidence are certain to establish leads
(руководство/указание) to identity.
Flight (бегство) or absence of a certain person during an investigation may
give leads to clues to his identity.
All these characteristics and many others are expected to be the means which
first point to a certain person as suspected, and, later, identify the burglar. Identity
proves to be the best established when there are confessions, admissions, or
identifications by eye-witnesses. If the evidence allows presumption of guilt the
case is ready for prosecution and arrest.
