A POLICE DETECTIVE’S JOB — the basics
After a crime, the first thing detectives need to do is investigate the case. Firstly, they search for evidence, i.e. anything that can help to show that somebody in particular did the crime. When they find the evidence, they need to analyse it, studying it in detail. Of course, it’s not so difficult to solve a crime when somebody actually saw what happened. In that case, the police need to question the witness. When the police have specific evidence, they can prove that the suspect committed the crime. When that happens, they can accuse the suspect and say they did it. They then arrest the suspect, taking them to a police station and keeping them there because they think they committed the crime. They need to charge the suspect, making an official statement that says the suspect actually committed the crime.
6 What is the noun form of each verb in 4?
- accuse — accusation
- analyse — analysis
- arrest — arrest
- charge — charge
- investigate — investigation
- prove — proof
- question — questioning
- search — search
