Abstract:	The first of two parts into which the text is divided deals with organization and design. The author explains planning and preparation, and he suggests team organization strategies and assignments. A hypothetical case is established to demonstrate how best to coordinate and supervise investigators, route paperwork, and address leads. The entire approach is also presented in a condensed, summary format for easy reference. The second segment of the book focuses on various contexts pertinent to sex crime investigation. Discussions are included on general investigative techniques, a probabilistic theory of searching, contemporary visual investigative techniques, and the application of the major case approach to other types of crime. Charts, an index, and a 35-item bibliography are provided. (Author abstract modified)
