Abstract

A research team worked with a large urban jurisdiction in the southeastern United States, conducted detective interviews, developed process maps, and estimated the work hours associated with various phases of homicide investigations. The investigative process was organized into separate stages and presented as process maps. The average time elapsed for the initial investigative stage was 72.0 hours, while time to complete the second stage was 10.3 days. Plea-bargained cases consumed 12 hours of lead investigator’s time; homicide trials required an additional 13.2 workdays. These workflow maps and workload estimates could be used to help determine staffing allocations in similar agencies.

绘制凶杀案调查流程图并估算凶杀案调查组所需资源:美国案例研究的结果
一个研究小组与美国东南部的一个大型城市辖区合作,进行了侦探访谈,绘制了流程图,并估算了与凶杀案调查各阶段相关的工作时间。调查过程被分为不同的阶段,并以流程图的形式呈现。初步调查阶段的平均耗时为 72.0 小时,而完成第二阶段的耗时为 10.3 天。认罪求情协议案件消耗了首席调查员 12 个小时的时间;凶杀案审判需要额外 13.2 个工作日。这些工作流程图和工作量估算可用来帮助确定类似机构的人员配置。
