Using the findings from Skogan and Antunes, RAND, Eck, and Brandl and Frank discuss how you would assign cases to detectives and use detective resources. In writing your answer make sure you concern yourself with ideas of both effectiveness and efficiency Focus on the follow:
How successful are detectives/investigators in producing outputs and outcomes?
Should all cases be assigned to detectives?
Should only cases with certain characteristics be assigned to detectives?
Could police resources (officer time and effort) presently spent on investigating crimes be used more efficiently?
Are sting operations effective and efficient?
Would other types of police activities produce the same results?
