Additionally, the text examines the key areas of risk associated with major and serious crime investigations, the impact on investigators, the concept of disclosure, investigative interviewing, and the use of civil orders as an alternative to prosecution.

Both students and practitioners can find immense value in this book, thanks to its contemporary approach of utilizing case studies and contemporary investigative examples that are relevant to the topic. By bringing together academic theory and operational understanding of major and serious crime, this book offers learners a clear and easy-to-follow guide that they can reference throughout their careers.

In conclusion, this text is a valuable resource for anyone interested in pursuing a career in major and serious crime investigations.
