Preferred term

sex crime investigation  

Definition(s)

  • Sexual offenses differ from other criminal offenses in many ways, particularly in that they are private offenses that often take place in the home of the perpetrator and/or the victim. They are crimes of secrecy, rather than public crimes, and as such, sexual offenses are difficult to prevent. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement; Sex Crime Investigation]
