The criminal justice process is dependent on accurate documentation. Criminal justice professionals can spend 50-75% of their time writing administrative and research reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals, Fifth Edition provides practical guidance--with specific writing samples and guidelines--for providing strong reports. Much of the legal process depends on careful documentation and the crucial information that lies within, but most law enforcement, security, corrections, and probation and parole officers have not had adequate training in how to provide well-written, accurate, brief, and complete reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals covers everything officers need to learn--from basic English grammar to the difficult but often-ignored problem of creating documentation that will hold up in court. This new edition is updated to include timely information, including extensive coverage of digital reporting, updates on legal issues and privacy rights, and expanded coverage of forensics and scientific reporting.

“If it’s not in the report, it didn’t happen.” This law enforcement adage has stood the test of time for a reason. With calls for greater transparency in the criminal justice system and technology revolutionizing how information is shared, police reports have taken on new life in today’s law enforcement world. For most new officers, learning how to write a report starts with learning what to write. Make no mistake, a quality investigation is the foundation of a successful police report. By exploring the critical interplay between investigating and writing, It Did Happen: A Police Officer’s Guide to Successful Report Writing examines case development and narrative construction from the ground up. As it does, it analyzes different categories of police reports and reviews the legal standards and procedural rules that officers regularly encounter. Along the way, it contrasts mandatory and discretionary reporting and discusses how computer-aided dispatch systems can serve as valuable investigative resources. Finally, this book recognizes that police reports are the foremost tool for communicating the facts and circumstances that guide an officer’s decisions. Whether you attend the police academy, take a criminal justice course, or work in the security field, this book offers several strategies to enhance your report writing skills.

Fundamentals of Investigative Report Writing teaches readers how to precisely construct investigative reports, whether for criminal, employment-policy, or employee-performance investigations. Dedicated to helping report-writers produce valuable extrinsic documentation, the book explains how to describe "what happened and why" in clear, concise terms. Topics include writing attitude and ethics, the "always" rules of writing, tips for conducting successful interviews, techniques for writing with precision, purposes and techniques for editing and proof-reading, and how to incorporate sketches, drawings, diagrams, and other visuals. The book also addresses considerations when writing United States Constitutional- based reports, as well as strategies involved in other forms of written communication such as e-mail, business letters, memoranda, and social media. This edition features a chapter devoted to performance evaluations that helps supervisors to be accurate, state things efficiently, insure the quality of the organization, and develop the employee. Each chapter includes learning objectives, chapter summaries, specific writing assignments, and a feature story related to the chapter's content-focus. Illustrations have been carefully selected to support the written text. Thoughtfully developed to set students and instructors up for success, Fundamentals of Investigative Report Writing is ideal for technical education programs in administration of justice, criminal justice, and law enforcement and courses on investigative and police report writing and report writing for criminal justice and law enforcement professionals. After twenty-five years in law enforcement, Gary Guthrie retired and brought his experience and expertise to the university classroom. A faculty member at both Point Loma Nazarene University and Southwestern College in San Diego, he teaches criminal justice courses with a significant focus on the role of quality written documentation. Professor Guthrie relies on his own extensive investigative report-writing experience, which encompasses criminal, administrative, and policy investigations, to inform his teaching and his approach to foundational skills development in his students.
