LEAB Deductive & Inductive Reasoning 2

Question 1

All armed robbery suspects must be photographed and fingerprinted. Marcus is a suspect in an armed robbery. Which conclusion is definitely true?

Accepted Answer

Marcus must be photographed and fingerprinted

Answer

The rule applies universally to all armed robbery suspects, so it must apply to Marcus.

Question 2

Officer Reyes notices that the last four burglaries in the district all occurred between 2 AM and 4 AM on weekdays. What is the most reasonable inductive conclusion?

Accepted Answer

The burglar works a day job and strikes at night on workdays

Answer

The consistent pattern of weekday late-night timing inductively suggests the offender has daytime obligations.

Question 3

If a vehicle is reported stolen AND the driver cannot produce a valid license, the officer must detain the driver. A driver produces a valid license but the car is reported stolen. What must the officer do?

Accepted Answer

Detain the driver because the stolen vehicle condition is still met with both together

Answer

Both conditions (stolen vehicle AND no valid license) must be present to trigger mandatory detention; here only one is met so the rule does not automatically apply — but the officer must still investigate the stolen vehicle.

Question 4

Investigators find that three separate witnesses described the getaway car as dark-colored, four-door, and American-made. A detective spots a dark-colored, four-door Ford. What is the strongest inductive inference?

Accepted Answer

The Ford matches witness descriptions and warrants closer investigation

Answer

Matching multiple independent witness details raises the car's investigative priority but does not confirm guilt.

Question 5

Policy: Officers must complete a use-of-force report within 24 hours of any incident involving force. Officer Chen used force during an arrest on Monday at 11 PM. By when must the report be submitted?

Accepted Answer

Tuesday at 11 PM

Answer

24 hours after Monday at 11 PM is Tuesday at 11 PM, regardless of shift schedules.
