Abstract

The Use of Expert Search Warrants in the Criminal Investigation of Acquaintance Molestation Child sexual abuse is a critical social problem throughout the U.S. and the world. Often, a competent and thorough investigation can substantiate or discredit an allegation and notably support a subsequent prosecution of a substantiated case. A manual was created to assist law enforcement detectives who investigate allegations of child sex abuse. The investigative process includes: (a) forensic interviews of child victims, (b) collection of corroborative evidence, (c) analysis of offender characteristics and typologies, (d) offender interviews, and (e) search warrants to include expert search warrants.
