The research attempts to evaluate the maintaining of the chain of evidence
as a process of effective collection, handling and preservation of evidence.
The concept "chain of evidence" refers to the process of collecting, handling
and preservation of evidence until its presentation in court, as part of the
investigation process.
Evidence is anything that tends logically to prove or disprove a fact at issue
in a judicial case. Evidence essentially consists of oral evidence,
documentary evidence and real evidence. The value of evidence cannot be
underestimated as evidence can make or break a case. It is therefore
important that evidence is correctly and properly collected, handled and
preserved to establish a strong link between an individual and a specific act. / Police Practice / Thesis ((M. Tech. (Forensic Investigation) Police Practice))
