Which term describes the group of agencies involved in crime investigation?

• A. Forensic Scientists
• B. Investigative Agencies
• C. Pathologist
• D. Crown Prosecution Service

Answer: (B)

The idea here is about who does the digging and piecing together of clues after a crime is reported. A group of agencies involved in crime investigation is described as investigative agencies. This term covers the collection of bodies that work to uncover what happened, gather evidence, and identify suspects, such as police and other supporting agencies, all coming together to investigate.

Forensic scientists, while crucial, are individuals who analyze evidence in labs rather than a group of agencies. A pathologist is a medical professional who determines cause of death, not a collective of investigative bodies. The Crown Prosecution Service handles bringing cases to court, not the investigation itself. So they don’t describe the collaborative network doing the investigation, which is why investigative agencies is the best fit.
