Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The criminal justice process is dependent on accurate documentation. Criminal justice professionals can spend 50–75 percent of their time writing administrative and research reports. The information provided in these reports is crucial to the functioning of our system of justice.

Most law enforcement, security, corrections, and probation and parole officers have not had adequate training in how to provide well-written, accurate, brief, and complete reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals covers everything officers need to learn—from basic English grammar to the difficult but often-ignored problem of creating documentation that will hold up in court.

Download or read book Report Writing for Police Officers 2nd ed written by Wayne L. Davis, Ph.D. and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for criminal justice instructors. It requires them to help students work through the various police reports. The reports are intentionally left incomplete to require students to work through them. Some reports may seem to ask confusing questions, which may lead to unreliable responses. This is to be used as a lesson: unreliable responses create statistics that are not valid. Managers need to improve the forms in order to obtain valid data. This book first discusses communication theory and how it applies to police officers and prosecutors in the courtroom. Information presented in the courtroom by police officers has a significant impact upon the jurors. Indeed, police officers communicate both verbally and nonverbally in the courtroom and this affects their credibility on the stand. Furthermore, by employing persuasion theories, prosecutors can align the officers' testimonies to the jurors' particular communication preference. Second, this book discusses truth as it relates to probable cause and beyond reasonable doubt. Finally, because report writing is a significant part of police work, this book presents a variety of police forms that will engage students in written communication.

Download or read book Writing Effective Reports on Police Investigations written by Robert C. Levie and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 1978-01-01 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since an adequate report is an essential part of an investigation, this step-by-step guide to the writing of police reports is intended for preservice law enforcement trainees and for inservice officers. Systematic instruction, guidance, and practice for preparing effective police reports are presented in three basic steps: (1) taking notes during the investigation, (2) analyzing and organizing the notes, and (3) writing the report. Practical instruction is provided in word usage, sentence construction, and paragraph construction. The book is divided into two parts. The five chapters of the first part are sequential, the whole section giving the user an overview of the written report, with each chapter substantially complete in itself. For this reason, there is some deliberate repetition from one chapter to another. Also, the steps in writing a police report are so interrelated that certain essentials need to be stressed in relation to two or more of the steps. Exercises for preservice students and inservice officers are provided in the chapters on taking notes, analyzing the notes, and writing reports. The last chapter, on the actual writing of reports, includes a concise handbook on basic grammar and composition designed especially for the law enforcement officer. The second part of the book contains sample completed reports, both adequate and inadequate. The samples include reports on various types of offenses, ranging from theft and burglary to rape, murder, and traffic accidents. The report on each type of case is preceded by a brief statement of the purpose of the report and an analysis of the sample report. The adequate samples can serve the officer or the student as guides in writing reports while the inadequate samples can serve as guides in checking reports for errors, flaws, and weaknesses. A practice exercise follows each type of report. The appendixes contain a list of flaws commonly found in police reports and a concise reference on written expression, designed to provide grammatical and vocabulary references for the law enforcement officer. An index is provided.

Download or read book Writing Police Reports written by Alec Ross and published by M T I Film & Video. This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide to writing police reports is designed to teach officers both basic writing skills for clear, concise reporting and techniques for interrogation and information selection and assembly. This lesson in writing mechanics covers basic grammar skills, usage, and style. The process of assembling information is also detailed, including note-taking techniques, questions to be asked during the investigation, and approaches to use in taking statements from witnesses. Notes should cover all pertinent information while remaining brief and concise. In addition, a sequence of events must be established by utilizing investigative techniques. Simply stating a conclusion without offering supporting evidence is an ineffective means of report writing. After all forms have been completed and the note-taking process ends, the narrative report must be filled out. This involves using vocabulary that is precise, objective and accurate. Examples at various narratives are included. It is stressed that fanciful dialogue and opinion should be discarded for fact and a style that is immediately understandable. Revising a report is often necessary to polish the material into a finished product that meets the goals established for it. Accurate descriptions of items often lost or stolen will hasten the recovery process, and an outline of information to be recorded for such items is provided. A list of clothing descriptions is furnished as well.
