This course deals with offences committed against wildlife. As an advocate and care giver of wildlife, a wildlife custodian is often one of the first persons to encounter a wildlife species that may have been victimized through some illegal act. This encounter is usually the first step in an involved process that may bring an offender to justice. This process will bring the custodian into contact with law enforcement agencies and possibly the court, lawyers and judges. Understanding legal processes, investigative techniques, crime scene processing and presenting the evidence are all crucial aspects of successfully resolving a crime committed against wildlife.
