WEBINAR: FIRST48-Pettler's Research-Based Forensic Victimology.

Time: 9a-5p, Location: ONLINE THROUGH HOST AGENCY...Victimology is the analytical study of the victim and research-based forensic victimology is the core of modern, sophisticated, investigatory practice in death cases. Victimology is not part of a death investigation, it is the core of scientific death investigation. The importance of conducting research-based forensic victimology within THE FIRST 48 hours of a death investigation cannot be understated. Research-based forensic victimology can help investigators avoid cases going cold, failure to identify violent offenders before they kill again, or the inability to prosecute when victims’ “suicides”, “accidental”, “natural”, or “undetermined” deaths are later determined to be homicides and murders. This course introduces Pettler’s Research-Based Forensic Victimology approach to preparing, conducting, and analyzing victimological information for crime scene investigators, detectives, coroners, and prosecutors.
