People who commit murder sometimes pose or reposition victims, weapons, and evidence to make it look like events happened in a different way to what actually occurred. This book provides a methodology of identifying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating the evidence of each case by learning to marry the physical evidence to the behavioural evidence. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing behavioural red flags which are often present in staged crime scenes and describes various types of crime scene staging behavioural patterns.

This thesis examines the impact of traceable liquid property marking strategies on reducing residential burglary and other acquisitive crime. 10 trial sites, each of 500 households, were selected in London, 2 each in 5 boroughs. These trial sites all had both a persistent and long term chronic residential burglary offence rate. Residential homes in the areas were visited by a police officer of PCSO and property marked using a unique traceable liquid property marking solution. Signs were displayed, and use made of press and media, to tell people that they were entering a property marked area. Similar control areas were establish in each borough. The study deduced that there was a 45% reduction in residential burglaries in the control area. When the trial areas were widened to include a 750m displacement zone then the results indicated a 23% reduction in residential burglaries. The study concludes that traceable liquid property marking is highly effective at reducing residential burglary.
