ABSTRACT
The current paper will review the ways psychology, 
particularly Investigative Psychology, contributes to 
investigations. The three broad types of contributions are; 
investigative inferences, the investigation process and the 
assessment and improvement of investigative 
information. Psychology can provide useful decision 
support tools to facilitate the investigation processes and 
help investigators to give more appropriate decisions. The 
application of psychological principles is also beneficial 
in the evaluation process of the accuracy of the 
investigative information. Grounded on the actuarial 
evidence, psychology is able to generate answers to many 
questions raised in different stages of police 
investigations.
