The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis presents detective activity in Slovenia with particular emphasis on the authorisation of detectives to ** obtain data** from individuals, where ** conversation and communication skills** represent a key investigative tool for obtaining the desired data. Clients of detective services expect detectives to provide them with such information and evidence that will have practical benefit in any subsequent proceedings, including in terms of consideration by other authorities and organisations. Detectives must operate within ** legal and ethical capabilities** to provide their clients with ** evidence and information**.
Solution and Method
The diploma thesis presents detective activity in Slovenia with particular emphasis on the authorisation of detectives to ** obtain data** from individuals, where ** conversation and communication skills** represent a key investigative tool for obtaining the desired data. Detective activity represents one of the possibilities for ** ensuring internal security** in the country. It is a legally regulated activity that falls under private security and requires systematic organisation and effective supervision.
The first law on detective activity came into force in 1994. Subsequently, a new law was adopted in 2011, which brought changes to the performance of the activity and precisely defined the conditions for carrying out detective activity. Detective activity has a special position given the fact that detectives in their work can interfere with ** human rights** and ** fundamental freedoms**.
In Slovenia, detective activity is regulated by the Detective Activity Act, which, among other things, also specifies the authorisations that private detectives may use.
Results
Clients of detective services expect detectives to provide them with such information and evidence that will have practical benefit in any subsequent proceedings, including in terms of consideration by other authorities and organisations. Detectives must operate within legal and ethical capabilities to provide their clients with ** evidence and information**. According to the prescribed legislation, detectives may obtain information directly from the persons to whom the data relate and from other persons who have the data if they are willing to provide it voluntarily without coercion or inducement by the detective.
A good and successful detective must establish a network of reliable sources of information and maintain or preserve contacts with them. In their work, a detective relies primarily on knowledge, experience and resourcefulness. When obtaining data from individuals, communication skills are of key importance, as they significantly influence the quality of the data obtained.
Data collection takes place in the form of a planned conversation or ** interaction between the detective and the individual, namely a highly specialised form of conversation with a precisely defined purpose and objective. When collecting data from individuals, the ** preparation of a tactical plan for the specific conversation is of key importance. The detective must control the course of the conversation at all times and must also be polite, respectful, thoughtful and responsive during the conversation.
Above all, they must be aware that their sole task is collecting information and facts.
