Criminal and Civil Investigation

There is a fine line between a criminal and civil investigation. A civil investigation refers to gathering information for a civil trial between two individual parties. On the other hand, a criminal investigation involves collecting evidence of a crime and other more specific purposes.

Civil Investigation

Civil investigations mostly revolve around disputes between private individuals, such as:

• Marital disputes
• Child abuse
• Child custody
• Workers’ compensation
• Missing persons
• Personal injury/damage

During a civil investigation, a private investigator will look for, but not limited to:

• Physical evidence
• Public records
• Business profile
• Testimonies from relatives, colleagues, or friends
• Financial documents
• Phone or computer activities

Criminal Investigation

A criminal investigator gathers data to prove or disprove:

• Crimes
• Sexual misconduct
• Fraud
• Kidnapping
• Homicide
• Criminal defense
• Theft
• Assault

During the investigation, a criminal investigator uses the following methods:

• Background checks
• Document review
• Surveillance
• Interviewing
• Crime scene photography
