Defending an Allegation

Dealing with a criminal investigation

A criminal investigation covers a whole range of different circumstances, from assaults and cybercrime to drug offences and terrorism.

An investigation usually involves the police but can involve other professional bodies. Those involved will investigate whether a person should be charged with an offence, or whether they are guilty of an offence they have already been charged for.

Usually, such an investigation means that you will have been accused of committing a criminal offence and will be interviewed under caution by the police or another relevant authority. If this is taken further, it can lead to a court hearing.

Allegations of any kind can come from all manner of bodies, both public and individuals.
