One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Meaning and nature of criminal investigation

Criminal investigation is the systematic process of collecting, preserving, and analysing evidence to establish the facts of a crime, identify the offender, and provide material for prosecution. Mastering its meaning and nature is essential for the exam because it underpins the roles of investigators, the legal safeguards they must observe, and the procedural steps that lead to a successful prosecution.
