Since the trial of O.J. Simpson, the "profession" of
private investigation has risen to a new level of respect
among both the legal community and the public at large because
the success of O.J.'s " Dream Team" was largely
a result of the brilliant work done by defense investigators.
Private investigators are often called upon to provide information
for cases that are not criminal or when regular law enforcement
cannot fit a more in-depth investigation into its criminal
caseload. Investigators are called upon to conduct surveillance,
asset searches, and background checks on individuals and
corporations.
While most books on private investigation
tackle specific field-related topics, Practical Handbook
for Private Investigators provides the first comprehensive
coverage. Rory McMahon, a recognized leader in the industry,
clears up many misconceptions about the world of private
investigation as he guides experienced private investigators,
as well as those wishing to enter the field. This practical
handbook is a compendium of the work performed, with descriptions
of the various types of investigations, case studies, and
practical tips. Besides showing you how to conduct every
kind of investigation, the book also offers advice on how
to testify, how to set up practice, and how to get licensed.
