BASIC CONCEPTS
TOPIC I. INTRODUCTION
CRIME, CRIMINALITY AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR
What is Crime:
An act or omission declared (codified) as “Crime” under the Law.
Or
A human conduct which violates the Criminal Law of the state.
“An action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law”.
(Oxford Dictionary)
The Oxford Dictionary of Sociology defines the Crime in following manner:
“Crime is an offence which goes beyond the personal and into the public sphere, breaking
prohibitory rules or laws, to which legitimate punishments or sanctions are attached, and
which requires the intervention of a public authority.”’
According to Sir William Blackstone1:

“A crime is violation of the public ‘rights and duties’ due to the whole community,
considered as a community”
The definition by Sir William Blackstone emphases upon the same point as given
in the preceding definitions i.e violation of Law. The Term public rights and duties
are the ones as codified in the Law and violation whereof constitutes an Offence.
For Instance Kite Flying is an offence for the same has been declared so in
“Prohibition of Kite Flying Ordinance 2001”. However according to William
Blackstone, one who flies kites actually violates the public rights and duty
enshrined in this Law. This makes us to conclude that the definition given by Sir
William has the same meanings as given in other definitions.
Elements of “Crime”
I. Action (Actus Reus)

II. Criminal Intent (Mens Rea)
III. Causation
IV. Concurrence
Action (Actus Reus)
1
Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on The Laws of England
Actus Reus means Criminal Action. The concept of Crime has evolved over the time. In
Ancient and Medieval ages, normally this was the sole criterion to establish Criminal
Liability with little regard to the facts and circumstances leading to such cases.
Criminal Intent (Mens Rea)(R Vs Faulkner 1877).
In modern Criminal Jurisprudence, The first case where concept of Mens Rea was applied
in the case reported as R Vs Faulkner 1877. Faulkner was a sailor who one day entered in
to ship to steal the “Rum’ during which he lit the match which caught fire subsequently
burnt the complete ship. He was charged for Arson in addition to theft. However the
court of Appeal quashed the charge of Arson for the accused had never intended at
burning the ship.
Causation (R Vs White 1910)
The outcome should be result of the criminal act in order to fix the criminal Liability. The
principle emerged in the Case reported as R Vs White(1910). White hatched a plan to kill
his mother by poising her milk which she used to take ahead of sleeping. However that day
the mother took only a few sips of milk which were insufficient to cause death. However
her mother died of heart attack. White was charged for attempt to murder instead of Murder
because the death was not caused by his act, although both actus reas and mens rea were
present in the case.
Concurrence (R VS SHERREE )
Sherree decided to kill her husband through a handgun and discussed the plan with her
friends. Few days latter , she was driving her car when her husband suddenly stepped before
and died at the spot. In this case , both actus reus and mens rea present. The causation
was also present because the death was caused by her act. But , it was held, that she not
intended to murder her husband that way at that time meaning thereby the actus reus and
mens rea should happen at the same time, a principle called Concurrence.
Types:
a. Mala In se i.e Wrong in itself e.g example Murder
b. Mala Prohibita i.e prohibited by statute. E.g kite flying
TOPIC_II
UNDERSTANDING CRIMINOLOGY
CRIMINOLOGY
Literal Meaning: Study of Crime and Criminals
Definition of Criminology in the views of Different Scholars:
Edwin Sutherland
Criminology is the body of knowledge regarding crime as a social
phenomenon. It includes within its scope the processes of making laws,
breaking laws and reacting towards the breaking of law. (From the above
definition it is apparent that criminology is a combination of how the society
defines and deals with crime within a social and legal context).
Donald Taft
Criminology may be divided into two branches:
general
specific
Criminology in a general sense is the study of crime and criminals. In a
specific sense it seeks to study criminal behavior its goal being to reform
the criminal behavior or conduct of the individual which society
condemns.
Professor Dejorde 2
Criminology is an independent science which by making use of the
knowledge and research procedures of other sciences (sociology,
psychology and alike sciences dealing with human behavior and
community) empirically studies the criminal phenomenon, i.e., the crime,
the perpetrator and the victim of the crime, criminality, as well as the way
in which a society reacts to criminal behavior.
Donald Cressey
“The scientific approach to studying criminal behavior.”

Webster
Criminology is the scientific study of crime as a social phenomenon or of
criminals and their behaviors and family conditions.
From the above definitions , it can be concluded that Criminology is a discipline which
intends at looking in to the factors and reasons behind the crimes in society from multiple
perspectives , the impact of the crime on the society and ways and measures to address the
underlying reasons behind the crimes.
Origin:
The term” Criminology was coined by an Italian jurist and criminologist, Raffaele
Garofalo, in 1885 ( “criminologia” in Italian Language).Raffaelae was student of Ceasare
Lombroso, who is considered to be “Founder of Modern Criminology”3. A French
physician Paul Topinard ued similar French term “criminologie”.
However Criminology as a distinct field of study owes its origin to schaolrs of different
disciplines who studied various aspects of Crimes. Todd Clear and Natsaha Frost has
thrown light on evolution of criminology in following words4:
Criminology began as a theoretically oriented field of study. Notably, the early criminologists were
drawn from various disciplines (sociology, psychology, medicine) and would likely not have self-
identified as “criminologists.” Nonetheless, early writers about the social science of crime, such as

Ibid
Émile Durkheim (in the field of sociology), sought to explain the existence of crime in society.
Durkheim and others also set out to explain patterns of crime through the examination of crime
across time and place. Shortly afterward, writers sought to explain why some people engaged in
crime when others did not. In the late 1800s, Cesare Lombroso, who is often referred to as the
“founder of modern criminology,” launched the science of criminology through his explorations
into differences between criminal and noncriminal populations

Criminology in Pakistan: As Academic Discipline
Following facts signify the state of Criminology as an academic displine in Pakistan

 No university is currently offering Criminology at Doctoral Level
 Not more than 10 universities are offering Criminology Programs at masters level.
 There is only one HEC Recognized Research Journal in Pakistan5
Practical Application of Criminology in Pakistan

Criminologists are rarely hired in the organizations working in connection with Criminal
Justice System in Pakistan.
Shanila Ayaz Mazhar(2012), in this connection observed that6:

“It was assumed that a degree in criminology has some charm and adventure having links
with a prestigious organization and forces of the state. But, unfortunately, the government
has no role in it despite its importance round the globe.
The University of Sindh produced anumber of criminologists, but they are still jobless. It
is very surprising that no vacancy is announced by organizations such as the army, the
police and the the Anti-Narcotics Force.”
DR NABI BAKHSH NAERJO Chairman, Dept of Criminology, SU Jamshoro, in has

tendered following recommendations to promote discipline of criminology in Pakistan7.
The federal and provincial governments, their respective interior/home departments, their
subordinate organisations /departments, and other public and private sector organisations
are requested to create and advertise jobs in BPS-17 for criminologists in the following
titles/positions relevant to their individual needs, description and requirements.
The criminal justice (police, court, and corrections) must appoint/induct criminologists into
areas like criminal justice coordinator, police psychologist, police trainer, police reformist,
private detective and community police officer.
The prison systems and institutions need services of criminologists in positions like prison
governor, correctional officer, prison reform officer, prison security manager, legal aid
officer and probation/parole officer.
The criminal investigation wing in public and private organisations can engage
postgraduates in criminology as crime scene investigator, chief interrogator, crime pattern
analyst, character verification officer, forensic expert., etc. The policing, investigation and
countering of organised crime, violence and terrorism could be the other relevant fields
where criminal intelligence officer, counter-terrorist personnel, anti-human trafficking
officer, human rights expert, cyber crime specialist, anti-corruption officer and security
consultant could be recruited.
University campuses could be secured through the expertise of qualified campus security
officers. The university, prison institution and human development department require
criminologists as teachers, trainers and counselors. The incidents/events of hostage
situations compel us to apply professional skills of the criminologist as hostage negotiator.
The home department should create the post of child protection officer to safeguard
vulnerable children in our society. Community and institutional setups should
professionally launch offender-victim mediation programmes. Crime reporting is the other
vital domain where knowledge and skills of criminologists could be best capitalised.
Criminal Law and Criminology

Criminology lays down the theoretical framework for framing and operation of criminal law.
Criminal Law is meant to regulate the conduct of society by punishing undesirable behavior.
Criminology helps identify such behaviors in order to ensure the effectiveness of the Law.

e.g Recently Pakistan has decriminalized attempt to suicide . Likewise numbers of acts have been
criminalized such as benami Transactions and Harassment of women.
Deviance:
Socially disapproved behavior i,e violation of social norms. Deviance can be criminal when the e
conduct is violative of criminal law such as murder, robbery or theft. It is non-criminal when it
doesn’t violate the criminal law such as “telling lies” or being extravagant.
Sin
Violation of divine law or religious injunctions. A sin may or may not attract criminal liability.
For instance, disrespecting elders may be a sin under religious code but not a crime. On the other
hand murder is a sin as well as a crime.
Evil
Anything that is considered harmful to the society and social order. An evil may or may not
symbolize a crime. For instance, extravagance is an evil but not a crime. Contrarily, corruption is
an evil as well as a crime.
Vice
Practices which manifest evil or immorality such as drinking and smoking. The former may
attract criminal liability in Pakistan while the latter is not designated as a crime.
TOPIC III-CRIME AMND CRIMINALS

status in the society. The term was coined by Edwin Sutherland. Example. Copy Rights
infringements, Money Laundering, Insider Trading, Bribery and Kickbacks. A detail of Different
types of White Collar Crimes is illustrated in the below given figure.
Source: Edelhertz (1970, pp. 73-75)8.
ORGANIZED CRIMES
When criminals join hand to form a group in order to commit a crime are series of criminal
transactions generally through fraudulent means.
UNODC defines the organized crimes as follows9:

Under the Convention (article 2a), an "organized criminal group" is defined using four criteria:
1. A structured group of three or more persons;

2. The group exists for a period of time;
3. It acts in concert with the aim of committing at least one serious crime;
4. To obtain, directly or indirectly, a financial or other material benefit.

Corporate Crimes:
The Australian criminologist John Braithwaite defined corporate crime as10:
"The conduct of a corporation or employees acting on behalf of a corporation, which is
proscribed and punishable by law.
Crimes by the corporate entities. Such as Money Laundering, Tax Evasion , Violation of Consumer
Regulations, insider trading , related party transactions etc.

Crime and Criminality: Theoretical Perspective

Classical School of Thought
The criminology in its current shape has emerged from the scholarly debates on Criminal Law and Reform.
The early theorists who contributed to what is known today as a Classical Theory included Cesare
Beccaria, Jeremy Bentham, and John Howard. According to this school of thought, human being commit
crime for material pursuits and desires. Accordingly , such individuals who commit crimes should be
punished so as to create deterrence. Classical School of thought bears affinity to “retributive justice”.
Positivist School of Thought
This school of though believes that its not solely internal desires that drive the human being to commit
crimes rather there are certain factors-internal and external – that defines the criminal behavior amongst
human beings. This School of thought is classified in to three Major categories
 Biological
 Psychological
 Social
BIOLOGICAL THEORY:
Biological make defines ones, deviant and criminal behavior. There major theories on biological
explanation are given hereunder.
Cesare Lomrose :
Criminals have a peculiar bodily construction. After having studies the physical features of Prisoners in
Italy, he found following traits.
 Facial asymmetry
 Monkey Like ears
 Large Lips
 Twisted Nose
 Excessive Cheek Bones
 Wrinkles on the Skin
 Large Jaw
 Large Chin
Males with five while female with three of the above characteristics can be held as borne
criminals.
William Sheldon
According to William Sheldon, there are three body shapes corresponding to the
personality type.
Endomorphic: Fat and Soft
Ectomorph: Thin and Fragile
Mesomorphic: Muscular and Hard
Rose J has described the William Sheldon view on the personality traits of these body
types in following manner11.
Sheldon took his underlying ideas and terminology of types from the fact that a human begins life
as an embryo that is essentially a tube made up of three different tissue layers, namely, an inner
layer (or endoderm), a middle layer (or mesoderm), and an outer layer (or ectoderm). Sheldon then
constructed a corresponding physical and mental typology consistent with the known facts from
embryology and the physiology of development. The endoderm gives rise to the digestive viscera;
the mesoderm, to bone, muscle, and tendons of the motor – organ; the ectoderm to connecting tissue
of the nervous system, skin, and related appendages. Sheldon’s basic type characteristics of
physique and temperament are briefly summarized in the following scheme.
Physique Temperament.
1. Endomorphic: relatively great 1. Viscerotonic: general relaxation of body; a comf

Small, delicate bones; droopy shoulders; small crowds.
Face, sharp nose, fine hair; relatively little body
Mass and relatively great surface area.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES
Criminal Behaviors is outcome of individual factors such as inadequate socialization and
negative early child hood experiences.
i. Psychological Development Failure

ii. Violence and Aggression learnt through direct experience
iii. Personality Traits such as over impulsive, unscrupulous etc.
iv. Mental Disorders
SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY
Social construction or societal factors have a bearing upon criminal behavior of
individuals.
Social Disorganization theory
Structure of Neighborhood and culture has a role in criminal behavior(Clifford Shaw and
Henry Mckay). Community disorganization and deprivations lead to criminal and deviant
conduct.
Strain Theory:
When individuals are subjected to pressure to attain socioeconomic goals, it may result in
deviant behavior. Strain may be individual or structural.
Social Control Theory
Social bonding such as relationships and affiliations serve as deterrent for individual to
commit crime. Therefore socially isolated individuals are more prone to crimes.
Learning Theory
Criminal behavior is learnt through individual associations, interactions, observations and
affiliations.

PROBATION
Literal Meaning:
The Act of testing
Definition
Release of an offender by the judge instead of sending him to the jail in anticipation that
the offender will mend his way and become healthy individual of the society.
Origin and History:
Started in England in middle ages when offenders were conditionally set free in
anticipation of good behavior.
John Augustus is said to be the father of Probation. He offered voluntary probation
service to rehabilitate and reform the offenders. In 1841 he rescued an offender who was
convicted on the charge of drinking. The offender was given three weeks to mend his
ways. When he appeared in the court after three weeks , his look was completely
changed.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
GENERAL DEFINITION
It is process of collection and analysis of information and evidence to identify and prove
the guilt of an offender.
DEFINITION BY SCHOLARS
I. "A lawful search for people and things to reconstruct the circumstances of an
illegal act, apprehend or determine the guilty party, and aid in the states
prosecution of the offender"21
II. “The collection of information and evidence for identifying, apprehending, and
convicting suspected offenders22”.
Objectives of Criminal Investigation
The criminal investigation is aimed at achieving the following purposes.
 To identify the offender: The principle purpose of the investigator is to
identify the person who committed the crime.
 Collection of Facts incidental to the Case: The investigation is required
to collect all relevant facts incidental to the case.
 To sift the wheat from the chaff: This is sort the valuable things and
discard the irrelevant ones.
 To Preserve the Evidence: Evidence is preserved in order to prove the case
 To Draw Conclusions: Investigators draw conclusions from available facs.
 To establish the Guilt in Court of Law: The entire exercise is rendered
useless if the offender’s guilt is not proved before the court of LAW.
Principles of Criminal Investigation:
 Objectivity: A condition of being free from bias which implies that the
investigation process should not be influences by personal interests or inclinations
of the investigator.
 Independence: The investigator should be officially independent in conducting
investigation.

MA: Ballinger, 1978) p.131.12
 Neutrality: The investigator should be neutral by avoiding leanings towards any

of the parties to the case.
 Relevance: Remain focused on the relevant facts only.
 Professionalism: Reasonable degree of professionalism should be observed by the
investigating officers.
 Competence: The investigating Officer should be well equipped the requisite
skills and techniques of investigation.
 Compliance with Law and Procedures: Non Compliance with Law and set
Procedures may cost the Investigation/Prosecution losing its case in the Court of
Law.
 Timeliness: Non following of timeliness may render the case entirely rrelvant.
 Record and Preservation of Evidence: Evidence should be properly preserved to
establish the vase in the court.
 Investigation Report: The investigation report should be under stable, clear,
concise an relevant.
HISTORY OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION IN PAKISTAN
Pakistan inherited its criminal justice system from its former colonial master, the United
Kingdoms, where, initially Detective Department was established in 1842 in Metropolitan
Police of London which was renamed as Criminal Investigation branch 187823. In
subcontinent, the investigation department was established in Punjab in 1905 under Sir
Edward Lee as its first DIG24 which was followed by other provinces. The techniques used
at that time included the following:
i. Finger Prints: Evidentiary value of finger prints was established in
china in relation to ancient pottery. In sub content finger prints were
used back in 1858 in Bengal for authentication of contractual
deeds25. Finger prints are now considered as an important (almost
conclusive until rebutted) evidence of an individuals’ identity.
ii. Dog Branch. Dog branch was established in subcontinent in the
province of NWFP (now KPK). Two officials were sent to south
Affrica for training. However for religious regions, both Hindus and
Muslim were averse to this idea26.
iii. Forensic Science Laboratories: The first ever forensic laboratory
was founded in Lahore in a photographic section of the criminal
investigation branch during 1930. In 1947 the lab was serving as a
training center in addition to the examination of fire arms, cloth,

fibers, dust, counterfeit, coins, forged currency, secret inks, hand
written and typed material27.
iv. Foot Tracking: People of sub-continent are deemed as being
experts in foot tracking (Khoji). However no substantial support was
extended to utilize the expertise. However Foot trackers were hired
to trace the criminal especially in rural areas and in certain cases
were promoted to the rank of DSP

Problems of Criminal Investigation in Pakistan:
 Overall Problems of Police Organization
 Disappointingly Low Budget
 Non separation of watch and ward from investigation
 Non availability of specialists
 Shortage of Staff
 Lack of Independence
 Corruption
 Lack of Competence
 Reliance on old methods of Investigation
 Lack of Infrastructure
27
ibid
 Non-Optimal use of technology

 Lack of equipment
 Shortage of Laboratories
 Delayed adjudication of Cases
 Use of Torture
USE OF TORTURE TO EXTRACT EVIDENCE DURING THE COURSE OF

INVESTIGATION
Employing torture is prohibited by the Constitution and Law. The Article 14(2) of the
Constitution provides that:
Article14(2):
“No person shall be subjected to torture for the purpose of extracting
evidence”.
Likewise section 156 of Police Order 2002 makes the torture an offence punishable with
5 years rigorous imprisonment.
“PENALTY FOR VEXATIOUS ENTRY, SEARCH, ARREST, SEIZURE OF
PROPERTY, TORTURE, ETC.– WHOEVER, BEING A POLICE OFFICER–
1. Without lawful authority, or reasonable cause, enters or searches or causes to be
entered or searched any building, vessel, tent or place;
2. Vexatiously and unnecessarily seizes the property of any person;
3. Vexatiously and unnecessarily detains, searches or arrests any person; or
4. Inflicts torture or violence to any person in his custody;
shall, for every such offence, on conviction, be punished with imprisonment for a
term, which may extend to five years and with fine.”
However the fact remains that the legal provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, the
polie excessively employs torture in certain cases in very inhumane and disgracing
manner.
According to an Article titled “The Investigation in Pakistan: Reality and Trends”,
Pakistan Vision , Volume 10 No 2 p. 175-17928, the author observed that:
“There are various physical tortures used by police during criminal investigation
including slapping on the face, beating by stick on any place of body, torture by fan belt
on the ground by laying upside down or hanged by ropes in the tree or roof of the building,
28

keeping person long time to wake up by using various tactics, pulling out the nails or
crossing/pricking of needle below nails, apply of electric current on the genitals, pushing
of the legs in opposite directions by force that joint between two legs is cracked, passing
the iron ring through the nose to rope with roof or tree for long time, use of chilly and
petrol in anus, pour of lime stone and tobacco water mixed in the nose, compel to take
human urine and stool by mouth etc”.
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Preliminary investigation implies initial scrutiny of the allegation ahead of registration of
case. In order to ascertain availability of sufficient grounds indicating commission of an
offence.
Legal Position as to Preliminary Investigation in Pakistan
Our Laws doesn’t provide for conducting preliminary investigation and the process of
investigation starts after Registration of Cases
EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RULE:
However there are certain exceptions to the general rules

Interview is method of collects of facts which is non-accusatory and directed to any
person who possess information related to a case. Any person who possess knowledge
about particular offence in any manner can be interviewed.

Good Cop Bad Cop: This is a psychologically manipulative technique wherein one
official /cop earn antipathy of the suspect through hostile behavior while the other one
extend sympathy through friendly conduct. The suspect is made to divulge information
through this tactic.
Pros Cons

Often proves effective Emotionally Manipulative
Simple Suspect may be aware of such tools.
REID TECHNIQUE
RIED technique is named after its author, John E REID, who has got it registered as a
trademark “REID Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation”29. Kozinski, W. (2017).
has observed that30
“The Reid Interrogation technique has been the dominant method used by police in the
United States and Canada to interview suspects of crime. This method is commercially
marketed to police departments and other law enforcement agencies with the promise that
80 percent of those interrogated will confess. However, there is growing evidence that the
Reid technique results in a significant number of false confessions, especially among the
young, the mentally impaired and those of low intelligence. Other countries, especially
England have rejected the Reid technique in favor of other methods that work equally
well in obtaining confessions but without the risk of false confessions. In the United
States, too, there is growing suspicion of the Reid technique and other hard interrogation
tactics such as those employed in interrogating suspected terrorists at Guantanamo and
Abu Ghraib”
COMPONENTS OF REID:
1. Factual Analysis: A provisional profile of the offender is drawn from the facts of
the case. It is intended to shortlist According to Joseph P. Buckley31
“This represents the collection and analysis of information relative to a crime scene, the
victim and possible subjects. Factual analysis helps determine the direction an
investigation should take and offers insight to the possible offender.”
According to James Orlando32
29
https://www.reid.com/
30
Kozinski, W. (2017). The Reid interrogation technique and false confessions: a time
for change.

https://www.reid.com/educational_info/canada.html
32
https://www.cga.ct.gov/2014/rpt/pdf/2014-R-0071.pdf
This factual analysis is also intended to “identify characteristics about the suspect and the
crime which will be helpful during an interrogation of the suspect believed to be guilty[,]”
such as motive or the suspect’s personality type.
2. BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEW:
Following factual analysis , the suspects are shortlisted on the basis of characteristics
identified during the process. According to Joseph P. Buckley33
The second stage of the process is the interview of possible subjects. This highly structured
interview, referred to as a Behavior Analysis Interview, is a non-accusatory question and
answer session intended to elicit information from the subject in a controlled
environment. The clinical nature of the interview, including the asking of specific behavior
provoking questions, is designed to provide the investigator with verbal, paralinguistic and
nonverbal behavior symptoms which either support probable truthfulness or deception. A
significant portion of training in The Reid Technique is devoted to the interpretation of a
subject's behavioral responses during the structured interview.
3. INTEROGATION
The accused persons who are shortlisted from the second stage , are subjected to Interrogation
which is accusatory in nature and intended at procuring confession. According to James
Orlando34, there are nine steps of interrogation.
1. The positive confrontation. The investigator tells the suspect that the evidence
demonstrates the person's guilt. If the person's guilt seems clear to the investigator, the
statement should be unequivocal.
2. Theme development. The investigator then presents a moral justification (theme) for the
offense, such as placing the moral blame on someone else or outside circumstances. The
investigator presents the theme in a monologue and in sympathetic manner.
3. Handling denials. When the suspect asks for permission to speak at this stage (likely to
deny the accusations), the investigator should discourage allowing the suspect to do so. The
Reid website asserts that innocent suspects are less likely to ask for permission and more
likely to “promptly and unequivocally” deny the accusation. The website states that “[i]t is
very rare for an innocent suspect to move past this denial state.”
4. Overcoming objections. When attempts at denial do not succeed, a guilty suspect often
makes objections to support a claim of innocence (e.g., I would never do that because I love
my job.) The investigator should generally accept these objections as if they were truthful,
rather than arguing with the suspect, and use the objections to further develop the theme.
5. Procurement and retention of suspect's attention. The investigator must procure the
suspect's attention so that the suspect focuses on the investigator's theme rather than on
punishment. One way the investigator can do this is to close the physical distance between
himself or herself and the suspect. The investigator should also “channel the theme down to
the probable alternative components.”
6. Handling the suspect's passive mood. The investigator “should intensify the theme
presentation and concentrate on the central reasons he [or she] is offering as psychological
justification . . . [and] continue to display an understanding and sympathetic demeanor in
urging the suspect to tell the truth.”

34 34
https://www.cga.ct.gov/2014/rpt/pdf/2014-R-0071.pdf
7. Presenting an alternative question. The investigator should present two choices,
assuming the suspect's guilt and developed as a “logical extension from the theme,” with
one alternative offering a better justification for the crime (e.g., “Did you plan this thing out
or did it just happen on the spur of the moment?”). The investigator may follow the question
with a supporting statement “which encourages the suspect to choose the more
understandable side of the alternative.”
8. Having the suspect orally relate various details of the offense. After the suspect
accepts one side of the alternative (thus admitting guilt), the investigator should immediately
respond with a statement of reinforcement acknowledging that admission. The investigator
then seeks to obtain a brief oral review of the basic events, before asking more detailed
questions.
9. Converting an oral confession to a written confession. The investigator must convert

the oral confession into a written or recorded confession. The website provides some
guidelines, such as repeating Miranda warnings, avoiding leading questions, and using the
suspect's own language.

PEACE TECHNIQUE:
Peace technique has been developed by in England and Wales during 1990s. This technique
is said to have been developed in response to allegation of false confessions through Reid
Technique. This technique is meant to conduct interrogation in transparent and ethical
manner. According to Durham College36, it is:

A non-accusatory, information-gathering approach to investigative interviewing, the
PEACE model is considered to be best practice and is suitable for any type of interviewee,
victim, witness or suspect.
PEACE is Acronym of the following terms.

P: Preparation and Planning
E: Engage and Explain
A: Account, Clarify and Challenge
C: Closure
E: Evaluation
Step I -P: Preparation and Planning

The interrogator at the first step should be well cognizant of the facts pertaining to the
case and the role of the person being interrogated upon. The questions to b e asked during
the course of interrogation should be well planned ahead of the interrogation.
Step-II:E: Engage And Explain
The suspect should be called upon and explained the purpose and methodology of the
interrogation process.
Step-III A: Account, Clarify and Challenge
The response so solicited should be properly accounted for . Any ambiguity should be
clarified and any clarification should be sought promptly.
Step-IV: C: Closure
The process should be properly closed which implies that any missing link should be
reconstructed, and ambiguities left should be clarified.
Step-V: Evaluate
The entire process should be reviewed , analyzed in order to draw conclusions.

STOP AND FRISK OPERATION(TERRY STOP)/SNAP CHECKING
A situation where a police official being suspicious of an individual detains the person an
d runs
his hands lightly over the suspect's outer garments to determine if the person is carrying a
concealed weapon. It is also called Terry Operations because the term evolved after the an
American named Terry was stopped and then booked on account of possessing illegal
weapon. The act of police was challenged for flouting the guarantees as to personal liberties
and protection against undue search as enshrined in US Constitution vide Fourth
Amendment to US’ Constitution. However the US Supreme Court found it Lawful on the
part of Police to stop and check someone randomly towards discharge of the duties
entrusted upon the Police. The case was reported as Terry Vs Ohio State( 1968)
Snap Checking in Pakistan:
It is permissible in Pakistan under section 125 of Police order 2002 in following manner.
Section 125 of Police Order 2002
Power to search suspected persons or vehicles in street, etc.– When in a street or a place
of public resort a police officer on reasonable grounds suspects a person or a vehicle to be
carrying any article unlawfully obtained or possessed or likely to be used in the commission
of an offence, he may search such person or vehicle; and if the account given by such
person or possessor of the vehicle appears to be false or suspicious, he may detain such
article after recording in writing the grounds of such action and issue a receipt in the
prescribed form and report the facts to the officer in-charge of the police station for
informing the court for proceeding according to law against the person.
However these powers are not meant go be used recklessly rather section 156 of the same
Act duly protects against unreasonable search in following manner.
“Protection against Unnecessary Search
156. Penalty for vexatious entry, search, arrest, seizure of property, torture, etc.– Whoever,
being a police officer–
(a) without lawful authority, or reasonable cause, enters or searches or causes to be
entered or searched any building, vessel, tent or place;
(b) vexatiously and unnecessarily seizes the property of any person;
(c) vexatiously and unnecessarily detains, searches or arrests any person; or
(d) inflicts torture or violence to any person in his custody;
shall, for every such offence, on conviction, be punished with imprisonment for a term,
which may extend to five years and with fine.”

Introduction:
International Criminal Police Organization, commonly known by its telegraphic address,
Interpol, is an international organization established to promote Cooperation vis a vis
matters pertaining to policing amongst its member. Currently it has 194 Member. Interpol
mere facilitate exchange of information and coordination with no power to make arrest or
detain on its own, a role which is often misunderstood, as observed by a scholar.37
“Interpol is mostly misunderstood because of Hollywood, which spreads
the incorrect belief that Interpol is an international police force,” said
Theodore Bromund, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a
U.S.-based think tank. “Most international organizations are not well
understood, and Interpol is no different.”
Essentially, Interpol acts as a police message board for its member
countries. One member country can request that some or all other member
countries detain, arrest, and/or extradite wanted persons through a variety
of notice types. The agency doesn’t issue warrants or detain individuals:

History
1914- International Criminal Police Congress: First International Police Congress was
held in Monaco in 1914 in a bid to establish an organization for cross border police
cooperation but the attempt could not elicit wider response.
1923-Creation of the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC): With
headquarters in Vienna, Austria, this was precursor of the current Interpol. However the
ICPC went in to control of Nazi Germany when
1956- Reframing of Constitution of ICPC and Establishment of International
Criminal Police Organization. Following the adoption of a modernized constitution, the
ICPC becomes the International Criminal Police Organization-INTERPOL, abbreviated to
ICPO–INTERPOL or just INTERPOL. The Organization becomes autonomous by
collecting dues from member countries and relying on investments as the main means of
support.

provisions on red notice
“Article 82: Purpose of red notices
Red notices are published at the request of a National Central Bureau or an
international entity with powers of investigation and prosecution in criminal
matters in order to seek the location of a wanted person and his/her detention,
arrest or restriction of movement for the purpose of extradition, surrender, or

an administrative nature or
deriving from private disputes,
unless the criminal activity is
aimed at facilitating a serious
crime or is suspected of being
connected to organized crime
DIFFUSION
In addition to the notices mentioned hereinbefore, the Interpol circulate certain requests
internally without making them public. The corresponding NCBs extend cooperation but
the request is not made public.
The Diffusion has been defined under Article 1 of the INTERPOL’S RULES ON THE
PROCESSING OF DATA, in following manner.
“Diffusion” means any request for international cooperation or any international alert from
a National Central Bureau or an international entity, sent directly to one or several National
Central Bureaus or to one or several international entities, and simultaneously recorded in
a police database of the Organization.
The purpose of Diffusion is given in Article 97 in following manner:
The diffusions system consists of standardized

requests for cooperation and alerts each
corresponding to a specific purpose:
(a) to arrest, detain or restrict the movements
of a convicted or accused person;
(b) to locate and trace;
(c) to obtain additional information;
(d) for identification purposes;
(e) to warn about a person’s criminal
activities;
(f) for information purposes.
The diffusion system has been criticized from various quarters for having been used by
dictatorial regimes against the dissidents residing abroad.

CRITICISM
1- Targeting Political Opponents and Dissidents by Dictatorial Regimes
There are number of instances where Interpol issued Red Notices on the request of
countries with checkered record of human rights. For instance, Shahram hamyoon, a critic
of Iranian Govt who left his home country to settle in USA where he is running a Satellite
TV, remains on red notice on the request of Iranian Government. A recently published
article in Financial Times observes tha38t:
Fair Trials, a UK-based rights campaign group, says it has seen troubling cases from all
over the world, ranging from Turkey and central Asia to Djibouti and Venezuela. One
person it previously worked with was an airline cabin crew member whose US visa was
revoked because of an Interpol red notice issued after a cheque she had written as security
for a loan for a car in the United Arab Emirates bounced — a criminal offence under the
national law. Other cases highlighted by Fair Trials and others include Dogan Akhanli, a
dissident Turkish-born German writer and critic of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who
was temporarily arrested in Spain last year after Ankara issued an Interpol request. Another
is Nikita Kulachenkov, an aide to Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader. Mr
Kulachenkov was detained for almost three weeks in Cyprus in 2016, because of a Russian
Interpol diffusion.
2- Questions on Financial Propriety vis a vis Private Partnerships :

Interpol entered in multi million deals with international organizations and multi national
companies which have been criticized from certain quarters. Interpol had to cancel its deal
with FIFA on account of such concerns. According to politico39
“Interpol’s deal with FIFA is just the tip of a fiscal iceberg. Since 2011, Interpol has signed
deals with a large number of private “partners,” including tobacco giants, pharmaceutical
firms and tech companies — such as Philip Morris International, Sanofi, and Kaspersky
Lab — the proceeds of which have swollen its operational budget by almost a third.
This pecuniary relationship between international policing and big business has passed
largely below the radar in recent years. Interpol enjoys an unparalleled global reputation,
and as a truly international organization has largely escaped sustained journalistic scrutiny,
which tends to put stories of national interest first.
In October 2013, its relationship with tobacco firms was criticized by Mediapart, a French
investigative and opinion publication, and its links with the pharmaceutical industry
were blasted by Die Zeit, the German weekly. But its deal with FIFA has gone mostly
unexamined, particularly in the English-language media, and the issue as a whole has failed
to command widespread public attention.
Now, however, given that FIFA’s dark corners are being opened to daylight by the US
Department of Justice and the Swiss attorney general’s office, serious doubts are arising
about Interpol’s private sector strategy, which has made the organization financially
dependent upon corporate interests”.

3- Political Cases
The Article 3 of the Constitution of the Interpol prohibit from taking up political cases, but
the organization has on many times issued red notices in such cases.
4- No defined process of Appeal
The appeal against issuance of Red Notice , though can be filed to Commission for Control
of Files yet there are no clear cut principles and procedures spelled out on this count.
5- Abuse of Diffusion System
The Diffusion system has been subjected to wide criticism for being non-transparent. The
person whom the Diffusion has been initiated against is caught unaware and has no remedy
to challenge the same..
Pakistan and Interpol

Pakistan became member of ICPC (International Criminal Police Commission) in
1952. National Central Bureau (NCB) of Pakistan was created under the new constitution
of ICPO in 1957. It is attached with Federal Investigation Agency since its inception. The

COMMUNITY POLICING
Definition:
Community policing is a philosophy of policing which requires to involve the local
community in planning and management of Police function.
Two Models of Community Policing.
There are two models of Community Policing.
Collaborative Model
Collaborative partnership between police and community on issues of policing
Command Model
Administration of Police bait rests with the Community through representatives Policing
Sir Robert Peel’s Principles of Policing:
Sir Robert Peel , a British Statesman known as Father of Modern Policing in UK put forth
9 principles of Policing of which Rule 7 provided that:
PRINCIPLE 7 “Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the

public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public
and the public are the police; the police being only members of the
public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are
incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and
existence.”
Legal Framework in Pakistan:
Police Order 2002 provides two institutions with regard to Community Policing in
Pakistan.
I. Citizen Police Liaison Committee:
II. Public Safety and Police Complaints Commission
III. Dispute Resolution Councils in KPK
Citizen Police Liaison Committee
Section 168 of Police Order 2002 provides for establishment of Citizen Police Laison
Committees in following manner.
168. Citizen Police Liaison Committees.– The Government may establish Citizen Police
Liaison Committees as voluntary, self financing and autonomous bodies, in consultation
with National Public Safety Commission or Provincial Public Safety Commission, as the
case may be, for–
(a) training and capacity building of Public Safety Commission;
(b) developing mechanism for liaison between aggrieved citizens and police for
providing relief; and
(c) assistance to Public Safety Commissions, Police Complaints Authority and the
police for the expeditious and judicious discharge of their duties.
Details of CPLCs functioning in Pakistan:

The detail of CPLCs is given hereunder.
CPLC Details
Karachi CPLC was initially established at four Police Stations vide

SOURCE CPDI40
Public Safety and Police Complaints Commission:

Police Order 2002 introduced Public Safety and Complaint Commission at District,
Provincial and National Level with vide ranging powers to redress public grievances
against the Police. However , in spite of being the legally incumbent upon the
Government, the Commissions were established only once during Mushrafas
Government and now they only exists on book of statute with no practical existence.
Benefits of Community Policing
According to CPDI 41, following are the benefits of Community Policing
Enhanced public confidence in police department;
Reduction in societal violence
Police-public partnership;
Peaceful co-existence in neighborhoods
Savings in police time from unnecessary arrests and trials
Speedy dispute resolution
Diminishing the need for use of physical force by the police
In addition to the above , Community Policing also contains following benefits
 Less Burden upon Criminal Justice System

 Cost Reduction
 Sense of Empowerment amongst masses
 Social Cohesion
 Informal Resolution of Disputes
 Less focus on petty issues
Measures Recommended for Effective Community Policing in Pakistan
CPDI has recommended following measures on making community policing an effective

tool in Pakistan.
Government of Pakistan
 Make community policing a statutory obligation;
 Budgetary provisions must be made and staff for community policing must be
specified.
 Develop guidelines and rules to govern functioning of structures such as CPLCs
or Community Policing Centers;
 Security of tenures of police officers to be ensured so that community policing
efforts initiated by police leadership do not go in vain due to untimely and abrupt
transfers.
 As per the spirit of devolution, police powers must be delegated so that local units
have the freedom to act, with the provincial police playing a supervisory role.
Asghar Mehmood, Former AIG police expressed the importance of locally
maintained police service, saying that: “In Pakistan we have political policing
system. It is controlled by politicians, managed by bureaucrats and manned by
confused professionals. Community policing has become a buzz wordin Pakistan.
Community policing can be expected from a locally maintained police service as
inBritain and USA. But the bait is that in these societies local government system
is very strong. In Pakistan, Chief Ministers would not allow local governments to
develop, which is sine qua nonfor success of community policing.”
 Recruitment of better educated and people-friendly police officers must be made
an essential part of the police department’s selection criterion. If police

department aims to inculcate community policing philosophy in the long run then
it becomes necessary to select people who are more likely to adopt the approach;
 External oversight and accountability mechanisms over police must be
strengthened to build public confidence on the department;
 Politics to be kept out of community policing initiatives, such as during selection
of initiative members or program execution;
 Support by Federal, Provincial, District Governments and NGOs (CSOs) should
be provided to supplement the community policing efforts.
Recommendations for NGO/Civil Society
 Training programs for police on theory and practice of community

policing should be organized while keeping the local culture and
context into perspective.
 Importance of community policing must be raised in print and
electronic media as a focal area of Reform.
 Focused lobbying with parliamentarians and senior police
leadership to incorporate community policing and make it a
statutory requirement.
 Research in different components and aspects of community
policing such as public trust in police, citizen-police cooperation,
effectiveness of police accountability and police perception etc must
be undertaken;
 Responsibility for sensitization of public and civil society on
community policing practices mustbe undertaken.
 Civil society can play a strong role in bridging contacts between
citizens and the police.
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP :
Public Private Partnership signifies collaboration between Public and Private Institution
for financing, building or operating public projects: According to IPDF, PPP is defined as
under42:
Public Private Partnerships (PPP) involve the financing, development, operation and maintenance
of infrastructure by the private-sector which would otherwise have been provided by the public
sector. Instead of the public sector procuring a capital asset and 3 providing a public service, the
private sector creates the asset through a dedicated standalone business (usually designed, financed,
42

built, maintained and operated by the private sector) and then delivers a service to the public sector
entity/consumer in return for payment that is linked to performance. Therefore the public sector is
able to redirect its efforts to serving other urgent social and economic needs. A PPP may include an
equity joint venture between GOP and the private sector.
Benefits of Public Private Partnership

Following are the benefits of Public Private Partnership in Pakistan, as per IPFD43.
 Development of more infrastructure on time and within budget
 Encouraging the private sector in innovative design, technology and financing structures
and including increased international and domestic investment
 Risk sharing by GOP with private sector partners
 Ensuring good quality public services and their wider availability
 Real financial benefits, and a better utilisation and allocation of public funds
 Economic growth and increased and wider employment opportunities
In addition to above, following benefits also accrue from Public Private Partnership
Synergies are created by combination of Public and Private Sector
Meets the paucity of resources by the Government
Enhances confidence of the Private Sector
Brings more transparency
Different Ventures of PPP in connection with Criminal Justice System:

Observation Homes and Rehabilitation Centers under JJSA 2018
Juvenile Justice Committees
Dispute Resolution Councils in KPK
Community Policing
CPLCS
Parole Licensing
Legal Framework for Public Private Partnership in Pakistan

Public Partnership Authority established vide Public Private Partnership Act 2017 is the
key agency of the Government mandated by the statute to explore avenues of cooperation
with Private Sector in Public Projects.
43
ibid
Challenges in connection with Public Private Partnership in Pakistan:
Governance Deficit
Corruption
Bureaucratic Hurdles
Trust Deficit
Legal and Judicial System
Political Uncertainty
Crimes and Urbanization
Pakistan has the highest rates of urbanization in South Asia, with a projected population of
335 million by 2050, and an annual urbanization rate of 3.06%44. (IBA Karachi)
Causes of Positive Correlation amongst Urbanization and Crime Rate:
Overpopulation, unemployment, family system, social services under strain, working
mothers, access to technology etc)
Organized Crime:
The unlawful activities of the members of a highly organized, disciplined association
engaged in supplying illegal goods and services, including but not limited to gambling,
prostitution, loan sharking, narcotics, labor racketeering, and other unlawful activities of
members of such organizations.
Characteristics (i)Organized crime is a conspiratorial crime. (ii) Organized crime has
profit as its primary goal. (iii) Organized crime is not limited to illegal enterprises or
unlawful services but includes sophisticated activities as well. (iv) Organized crime is
predatory, using intimidation, violence corruption and appeals to greed. (v) Organized
crime’s conspiratorial groups are well disciplined and incorrigible. (vi) Organized crime
is not synonymous with the Mafia but knows no ethnic bounds. (vii)Organized crime
excludes political terrorists, being politically conservative, not radical.

Money Laundering
Definition
The Process of concealing origin of illegally earned money by integrating it in the
legitimate financial System. According to Crimes and Conduct Commission, Australia ,
the Money Laundering is defined as under
The term ‘money laundering’ refers to the activities and financial transactions that are
undertaken with the specific aim of hiding the true source of income. Usually the money
involved has been derived from an illegal enterprise and the goal is to give that money the
appearance of coming from a legitimate source. Sometimes, however, money legitimately
obtained can also become the subject of money laundering; it may, for example, be disposed
of in such a way that it evades lawful taxation.
Stages of Money Laundering:

i. Placement
ii. Layering
iii. Integration
Placement:
In this stage the money earned through illegal means is entered in to the Banking System
through various tools and tactics. It may include making small deposits in to the banking
system.
Layering
The money entered in to the Banking System is subjected to multiple transactions to hide
its origin. These transactions are made to appear as legitimate Commercial Transaction.
Integration
It is the last stage wherein the layered money goes back to the money launderer who now
declares it as a legally money.

FATF’s Statement about Pakistan
FATF has highlighted following decencies vis a vis Institutional Framework in Pakistan.
In June 2018, Pakistan made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and
APG to strengthen its AML/CFT regime and to address its strategic counter-terrorist
financing-related deficiencies. Pakistan will work to implement its action plan to
accomplish these objectives, including by: (1) demonstrating that TF risks are properly
identified, assessed, and that supervision is applied on a risk-sensitive basis; (2)
demonstrating that remedial actions and sanctions are applied in cases of AML/CFT
violations, and that these actions have an effect on AML/CFT compliance by financial
institutions; (3) demonstrating that competent authorities are cooperating and taking action
to identify and take enforcement action against illegal money or value transfer services
(MVTS); (4) demonstrating that authorities are identifying cash couriers and enforcing
controls on illicit movement of currency and understanding the risk of cash couriers being
used for TF; (5) improving inter-agency coordination including between provincial and
federal authorities on combating TF risks; (6) demonstrating that law enforcement agencies
(LEAs) are identifying and investigating the widest range of TF activity and that TF
investigations and prosecutions target designated persons and entities, and persons and
entities acting on behalf or at the direction of the designated persons or entities; (7)
demonstrating that TF prosecutions result in effective, proportionate and dissuasive
sanctions and enhancing the capacity and support for prosecutors and the judiciary; and (8)
demonstrating effective implementation of targeted financial sanctions (supported by a
comprehensive legal obligation) against all 1267 and 1373 designated terrorists and those
acting for or on their behalf, including preventing the raising and moving of funds,
