  • Summary

  • In this episode, Simon and Tom engage in a detailed discussion about the evolution of crime investigation, particularly focusing on the mistakes made by senior investigating officers (SIOs) in the past. They explore the concept of 'tunnel vision' and how biases and assumptions can lead to missed opportunities and unsolved cases. The hosts reflect on historical cases, emphasising the importance of a systematic approach to training and information sharing among law enforcement officers. They highlight how modern advancements like computerised systems and forensic science have dramatically improved investigative practices. Examples such as the World's End murders and the Elaine Doyle case illustrate how previous investigative shortcomings were often due to the limitations of the time rather than incompetence. The conversation also touches on the impact of media representations on public perception and police procedures. The episode concludes with insights on how a culture of learning from past errors and continuous improvement is vital for the success of modern law enforcement.
