Emotional Toll: Investigating crimes, particularly those involving violence or harm to others, can take a heavy emotional toll on detectives. The exposure to traumatic scenes, dealing with victims and their families, and witnessing the worst aspects of humanity can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, and psychological strain. The last chapter inspires readers to be curious, not just seeing a personal one-sided view. Harford relates his time with the American comedian Stephen Colbert ( The Colbert Report), and how Colbert stimulated curiosity in his viewers and explained how politicians fund campaigns. This chapter finishes by reiterating the points on how to be a Truth Detective and on a positive note:

Irregular Working Hours: Crimes can occur at any time, and detectives often find themselves working irregular and unpredictable hours. This can disrupt personal and family life, making it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance. The demands of the job may require detectives to be on call or work long hours, sacrificing personal time and leisure activities. Gathering Evidence: Detectives have the responsibility of collecting and preserving evidence related to the crime. This includes not only physical evidence but also obtaining and analyzing digital evidence, such as surveillance footage or computer records. They must ensure that the chain of custody is maintained to ensure the admissibility of evidence in court. You will meet heroic truth detectives, such as Florence Nightingale who started a revolution with a pie chart. You will encounter dastardly villains who have tried to trip us up with dodgy data and misinformation. And you will learn how being smart and savvy with numbers, will help you be smart and savvy about everything else in life too.Testifying in Court: Detectives are often required to testify in court as expert witnesses. They present their findings, explain the evidence collected, and provide a professional opinion based on their investigation. Detectives must be able to articulate their findings clearly, respond to cross-examination, and present a compelling case to support the prosecution. I loved the whole atmosphere of the Oxford Literary Festival. From breakfast, alongside some of the attendees, who were talking books with each other a mile a minute, to the public event at The Sheldonian where everyone was lively and engaged – I felt I had arrived in a kind of literary heaven.

High Stress and Pressure: Detectives face high levels of stress and pressure in their line of work. The urgency to solve cases, the weight of responsibility, and the need to gather accurate evidence can be mentally and emotionally taxing. The constant need for meticulous attention to detail can also contribute to stress levels.

However, the detective's work extends beyond the confines of the office. Fieldwork is an integral part of their responsibilities. Detectives frequently find themselves visiting crime scenes, interviewing witnesses, and collecting evidence.

This collaborative aspect of their work often involves working as part of a team, especially when dealing with complex cases that require diverse expertise.

One of the defining characteristics of a detective's workplace is its irregular hours. Detectives are often on call and must be ready to respond to emergencies or crime scenes at any time, which can mean working evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility is crucial to ensure prompt responses and continuity in investigations. However, this also means that detectives must be prepared for an unpredictable and demanding work schedule.Tim Harford is peerless at making sense of a complicated world and our place within it. This is a book that all children should read ' - Matthew Syed Collaborating with Law Enforcement Agencies: Detectives often work closely with other law enforcement agencies, such as uniformed officers, forensic experts, and specialized units. They coordinate efforts and share information to facilitate the investigation. Detectives may also provide guidance and assistance to junior officers or new detectives in their department. Exposure to Danger: Detectives are frequently exposed to dangerous situations while investigating crimes. Confrontations with armed suspects, high-risk surveillance operations, and unpredictable circumstances can put their safety at risk. The inherent danger associated with the job can cause physical harm and pose a threat to personal well-being. We try to upload our events to our YouTube channel within a couple months’ time.
