- My name is Terence Inch.
I teach criminal justice and within that
I teach cyber crime and
criminal investigation
in particular.
We started knocking on
neighbors' doors, right.
And we show photographs to the neighbors.
I think I bring the subject
of criminal justice to life
by telling the students stories
of what's happened to me,
investigations that I've been
concerned with personally,
what went right, what went
wrong, so that my students
get an appreciation of the
way things should be done.
My whole career in the police in London
was attached to Scotland Yard,
dealing with the most serious crimes.
I did my 30 years
service and then retired,
started my own company,
and fortunately now,
I can pass on some of the
techniques and the ways
that we do things, ethics in particular,
things like that.
I think cyber crime is
recognizable as being
the next big thing in
criminal investigation.
Now think of everything
that we have in America
that's controlled by computer.
The more we know about cyber
crime, the more we train
our bright students how
to deal with cyber crime,
the better off we're going to be.
We basically spin the brush onto the can
until we can start to see fingerprints.
I also teach criminal investigation,
I can actually refer to actual cases
and I make a point of my
classes being case based,
so we discuss a new case every week.
Some of the cases I actually
dealt with personally
and they enjoy that very much.
Students, when they leave with
a criminal justice degree,
I think everybody imagines
it's all to do with police work
and I think to some degree
that was true in the past.
I don't think that's true today.
So there's a wide field really,
within criminal investigation.
Now I think that's a great
opportunity for students.
I think it's rewarding, I really enjoy it.
I wish I had done it before. (laughs)
