Investigating serial murder : case linkage methods employed by the South African Police ServiceGovender, Pariksha 01 1900 (has links)
The aim of this descriptive research was to determine the methods of case linkage (methods to link murder cases to each other as well as to link the murder series to one offender) employed by the South African Police Service (SAPS) to investigate serial murder in South Africa and to comprehensively explain them. A qualitative approach was employed with a multi-method data collection process which included case study, interviews and literature review in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the subject.
The methods of case linkage are explained within three phases of a serial murder investigation: the identification phase, the investigation and apprehension phase, and the trial and sentencing phase. The main findings of the study revealed the need for further training of the SAPS members and the need for a Standing Operating Procedure to be implemented to specifically govern the system of investigation for a serial murder case. / Criminology and Security Science / M.A. (Criminology)

The value of docket analysis in stranger rape investigations : a case study in Port ElizabethVan der Watt, Marcel 11 1900 (has links)
In this research docket analysis is evaluated as an investigative tool in stranger rape cases. Owing
to the fact that serial rapists mostly reside within the category of stranger rape cases, the
researcher attempted to test the value of docket analysis in the identification of patterns and
similarities among such cases which could be indicative of serial rape activity. A rape matrix was
used as a docket analysis tool to analyse the content of 184 stranger rape cases which was closed
as ‘undetected’. In addition to investigative shortcomings in the case dockets, the researcher
identified 15 stranger rape cases which presented six unique patterns among them. These
identified patterns could be indicative of serial rape activity. / Criminology / M.Tech. (Forensic Investigation)
