Aslam, M., Barker, J. and Dodsworth, F. (2021) Intelligence as a source of cold case homicide investigation : a cross national perspective. In: Hot Leads for Cold Cases, Spring Event 2021; 30 Apr 2021, Held online.

Abstract

Cold case homicides are probably the most complex and difficult of cases to (re-) investigate. Each is different in terms of means and motives, method of killing, geographic location and weapon used. There is no single method of investigation that fully fits with each type of cold case homicide. Therefore, several investigative techniques are in common practice, such as DNA profiling and fingerprint analysis etc. However, it is not known how an ‘Intelligence-Led Policing Model’ (ILPM) can be applied in cold case homicide investigations and literature is currently lacking that would enable us to shed light on this issue. The aim of the research is to develop a robust understanding on how an ILPM can help to solve old and cold case homicides.
