CRLS 2800 Terms CH 2
What are the four reasons why understanding the history of criminal
investigations is important in understanding the present and the future? -
correct answer ✔1. an understanding of history allows for an appreciation of
how much or how little things have changed over time


2. the present is a product of the past; to understand why things are the way
they are today, we have to understand the past


3. those who do not remember the past, are doomed to repeat it; to move
forward, one must understand from where one has come


4. if history is cyclical, then we may be able to predict the future by knowing
the past; it is with this knowledge that we turn the history of criminal
investigations


What is Parliamentary Reward? - correct answer ✔A system whereby a
reward was offered by the government to anyone who brought criminals to
justice or provided information that led to the apprehension of criminals;
operated from the 1700s-early 1800s in England


seriousness of crime ^ = ^ size of reward


What is the difference between the Parliamentary Reward and the modern-
day Tip System? - correct answer ✔1. the laws (ex: PR had harsher laws
that led to many deaths)

, 2. By benefitting from providing info that led to the apprehension of petty
criminals, informers were viewed in the same contempt as the legal system --
not how it is now


What is the bloody code? - correct answer ✔Methods of execution that
included hanging, burning, and drawing and quartering for crimes that
included theft, vagrancy, forgery, or even cutting down a tree without
permission during the Parliamentary Reward System


Most people did not believe the code was just so many did not pursue,
witnesses didn't testify, and juries were often not willing to convict


What is an informer? - correct answer ✔People who provided information
about criminals in exchange for parliamentary reward (money)


What is a Thief-Taker? - correct answer ✔A person hired by the victim of a
crime to recover stolen property and/or to bring a thief to justice


What was the problem with thief-takers? - correct answer ✔(1) mainly
worked for the rich because of the large compensation they would receive


(2)some thief-takers were employed as thieves; the thief would steal from the
victim, the victim would hire a thief taker, the thief would sell the property to
the thief-taker, and the thief-taker would then "sell" the property back to the
victim = corrupt!


What is a Thief-Maker? - correct answer ✔A person who tricked people into
committing crimes and then turned those people in for parliamentary award


What was the problem with they creation of the 'plain-clothes' officer
(detective/spy) in the London Metropolitan Police Department? - correct
