Criminal investigations sometimes fail, but why?

A new study by Kim Rossmo, Martin Bouchard and Lucia Summers explores both investigative and managerial points of failure. Some fascinating findings that probably won't surprise too many detectives.

I'm on Episode #91 of the Reducing Crime podcast. I guess Jerry is running out of "important" people to talk to. At least I'm glad I (barely, mind you) made Jerry's "100 under 100 list."

Joking aside, it's a good podcast and a good episode.

Boys will still be boys, but does that mean they have to go through the criminal justice system? Some see police-led diversion as being soft on crime; however, a systematic review suggests it’s actually being (moderately) smart on crime. Here’s a summary of the review.
