Defining the Essential Question

1) What is the most important skill you need to have, to become a successful Criminal Investigator?

2)

  •  Skill: it can be a skill that includes a job specialty ( i.e. photography, lab work, being able to understand certain types of crime) or simple techniques.
  • Successful: Having a long and thorough career, being marketable and wanted for cases, being higher up in the investigative field ( i.e captain, head of a team)
  • Criminal Investigator: one who is involved with cases and crime committed, not necessarily the crime scene but focusing on the criminal and the victim.

3)

  • Being able to investigate white-collar crime
  • Being able to investigate cyber crime
  • communication skills
  • knowing a little bit about everything, meaning to know how to solve various crimes and use various techniques
  • how to react in stressful situations
4) My most important source would definitely have to be my first interview with Jack Horvath. He is the captain of one of the four sects in the DA's investigative section.

    This generally looks good. What types of communication skills would you need as a criminal investigator and how would they differ from other professions that need good communication skills.

    Communication skills would be basically being able to communicate with the team you are working with, the witness,and the criminal. I think good communication skills in any job would be generally the same types, in my case the reasons for needing them would be different.
