Significance of Private Investigation - Dealing with Family & Domestic Violence

Private investigators are highly skilled professionals who navigate a complicated web of various ethical dilemmas. These situations arise when the investigator is faced with various situations that sense their professionalism as well as a part of the personal responsibility.

Significance of hiring private investigators in handling family violence ⚓

  

The private investigators handle a wide range of cases, mainly when it comes to matrimonial investigations, from Adultery Evidence, child custody, family violence, unacceptable behaviour and a lot more. The PIs handle domestic violence cases as they involve family members who abuse each other. The prosecutors might fail to collect exclusive evidence to prove the abuse in court. These cases are specifically handled by the private investigators. 

 

With time, there has been an increase in the overall number and severity of the cases. Majorly, after lockdown this situation has radically altered. Thus it has become important for the investigators to track down the perpetrators of domestic violence, and to get a detailed perspective on the overall situation. 

 
How Can A Private Investigator Help in a Domestic Abuse Case ?

 

The PI has extensive knowledge and training that enables them to use various creative methods to catch the abusers in the act, providing authentic evidence of their behaviour. In most of these cases, the solid and quantifiable proof includes audio and video recordings or pictures. The PI works to gather this evidence to support the accusations legally and effectively. 

 

People who commit recurring acts of domestic violence often change the whole narrative against their victims. Many of the offenders even claim to be the victim, or they even portray it as thinking that the abuse in their imagination or even to that extent that it is their fault. They even try to evade serious accusations by manipulating the close ones of the victim. 

 

This can make it quite difficult for the victims to rely on their friends or family to come up with solid testimony of the abuse, as they may also be a victim of the narrative. Thus the most effective way to stop a false narrative is to provide quantifiable proof. 

 

Performing A Background Check On The Alleged Abuser :-

 

One of the first steps the investigator will take is to carry out a background check on the alleged abuser. Mostly, the perpetrators have a conviction in their history that might not have been disclosed. 

Running a background check will provide valuable evidence of a pattern of behaviour, and it can even lead past victims or witnesses to provide strong testimony. The past victims come with evidence against the abuser that they might have been afraid of in the past, and that can strongly support the case. 

 

Developing A Timeline Of Events :-

 

It is important to develop a timeline of events as proof of an alleged incident, mainly when the evidence is difficult to accumulate. The private investigator can develop a series of events to demonstrate why and how the abuser may have affected the victim. Even if it does not bring out any strong evidence, a timeline can strengthen the case.

It helps to prove that the victim and the abuser were together at a specific frame of time or place and that the victim demonstrated signs of trauma afterwards. Timelines can establish the motive and other key factors of proving domestic abuse. 

 

Installing Hidden Cameras :-

 

Using discreet cameras is an ideal way to catch the abusers in the acts or provide strong evidence of how to treat the victim daily. Collecting video or photographic evidence can be used as a part of the timeline to demonstrate a certain pattern of behaviour, and it might be essential for the success of the case in court. 

If by chance, the cameras don't work well in a particular situation, the hidden audio recording devices might be another suitable option. Also, it is important to maintain that the PI will not place the cameras or install the recording devices without the consent of the client or in an illegal way. 

 

Installing Tracking Devices To Vehicles :-

 

Family violence or domestic abuse can happen outside of the home too. Placing the trackers or audio recording devices in a vehicle can provide vital insight into the abuser's activity, and the conversations that occur inside the vehicle and it also indicates whether the abuser has been lying about their activities. The tracking devices are useful for proving a pattern of stalking behaviour, cheating or even violation of a restraining order. 

  

With the support of professional private investigators, one can be assured that they will carry out their detailed investigation. To construct a strong defence for the clients, the PIs will conduct in-depth witness interviews that are designed to uncover any valuable or vindicating evidence. A PI can even find detailed additional forensic information that might have been missed by the police, and it helps to compile a way more comprehensive case before going to court.
