Talk by Christmas Humphreys
How does the detective learn his job? Where does he turn for guidance on the basic principles of an exacting profession? In part the answer is supplied by a textbook, * Criminal Investigation,* by the late Dr. Hans Gross , which has recently appeared in a new English edition edited by R. M. Howe , Assistant Commissioner C.I.D. Mr. Christmas Humphreys reviews the book in the light of the many popular misconceptions about the way detectives work.
