It is said that "one picture is worth a thousand words". This implies that pictorial
testimony has more value than ten witnesses. The witnesses may give different
views on the same issue, and, furthermore, they may forget some of the facts. Due
to human error, omission, and defects such as old age and sight problems, they are
contributing factors for people to give different accounts of the same events.
The study entails the various roles of photography, such as recording the crime
scene and that photography is considered as evidence in court. Investigators may
use them for both suspects' and witnesses' interviewing. Furthermore, witnesses
and victims may use them to refresh their memories, and the court uses them to
prove the matter at issue. This indicates that photographs have a major role to play
in the judicial and investigation processes. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Forensic Investigation)
