The Language of Evidence: Technical English for Future Criminologists

This book, The Language of Evidence: Technical English 1 for Future Criminologists, is designed specifically for Bachelor of Science in Criminology (BSCrim) students in the Philippines. Its primary aim is to equip future criminologists with essential technical English skills critical to effective communication within the fields of criminal justice and law enforcement. By focusing on technical and legal report writing, oral and written communication, and civilian correspondence, this book bridges the gap between criminological theory and the practical demands of professional documentation and testimony. Students will gain competence in producing clear, accurate, and legally compliant reports—from police blotters and incident reports to affidavits and legal briefs—preparing them for real-world responsibilities in criminal investigations, court proceedings, and administrative processes.
