Content
PRESENTATION
This subject arises from the need for the student of the Degree in Prevention and Security to have a first approach to the world of research, both in the private sphere, reserved for Private Detectives, as well as in the public sphere, which is carried out by the Police.
Societies with advanced socio-economic systems are characterized by a continuous interrelation between their members, sometimes they generate conflicts both in the field of interpersonal relationships and in the economic, labor, corporate, etc.
The resolution of these conflicts that, in their great majority, have a private nature (they are outside the Criminal scope) require the contribution of information and evidence to document approaches in the civil, labor, mercantile, family law jurisdictions; or, at least, to have simply the certainty of the reality of some facts, without any judicial transcendence.
In the State of Espanyol, as in most Western countries, the practice of obtaining information and evidence relating to private acts or behaviors is defined and regulated, attributing to the Private Detectives, constituted in Detective Dispatches, the aforementioned faculties in an exclusive way.
The explanation of the social work of the Private Detectives and their framework of action is the subject of the subject in which we will answer questions such as the D.P., how they are organized, what services they provide and how they develop their professional work.
In the field of Public Research we will know how a research unit works and how it is organized according to certain offenses established in the Criminal Code.
Methodology
The subject is divided into three blocks. The first block will explain the principles of private investigation, in the second block will analyze the tools used in the field of judicial police, as well as the concept of it. And, in parallel we have the third block where we will deal in depth with the interview as a public and private research technique.
To each of the blocks, the faculty will present the theoretical part and encourage debate on the topics proposed through the different forums.
In parallel, the student will have to develop the PEC's of the subject.
