Investigation

Investigation refers to a systematic process of inquiry aimed at discovering facts, gathering evidence, and understanding an event, situation, or phenomenon. It often involves examining information, interviewing witnesses, analyzing data, and conducting experiments or research to construct a clear picture of what has occurred or to answer specific questions. Investigations are commonly associated with fields such as law enforcement, journalism, scientific research, and legal proceedings. The ultimate goal of an investigation is to uncover the truth, provide accountability, or contribute to knowledge by determining causes, responsibilities, and outcomes related to the subject under scrutiny.
