CRIMINAL JUSTICE Lou a suspect the officer was investigating

CRIMINAL JUSTICE: Lou, a suspect the officer was investigating in a burglary case, was just convicted for that crime. Prior to his sentence, a pre-sentence report must be conducted. Who is most likely to conduct the investigation: the police officer, probation officer, or the prison guard? Who will he or she collaborate with to complete the report? Support your response by explaining how this process impacts interagency collaboration.

Solution

As the report is done pre-sentence,the suspect has not yet enter the court branch or the corrections branch. So the probations officerand prison guard are not yet present in this particular equation. That leaves the police departmentto do the investigation. As the suspect has been convicted of the crime, there is a chance thathe/she will be held at a local annex before a court date with the sentencing. In this case a jailofficer could possibly have the ability to help with the report. The idea of the pre-sentence reportis to give the court and the jury valuable information to make an ethical sentencing decision. Thereport is to be made to protect the data of the case, but to also be available to other agencies suchas the court and the correctional systems.
