They discover how a homicide squad responds to a crime scene, from evidence collection and analysis, interviewing witnesses, and following leads to issuing arrest warrants and working with prosecutors in achieving justice for the victim and his or her family.

Two homicide cases, the Phil Spector and Scott Peterson cases, help illuminate specific job tasks.
