Crime scene staging is a recognized phenomenon within the criminal justice field. This article defines the occurrence for staging, identifies the motives for staging, and identifies the act that precipitated the staging. It reports the results of an exploratory survey of 20 well-versed and highly trained law enforcement officers’ experience with staging in fatal and nonfatal incidents, and it reports the most commonly observed forms of crime scene staging. Investigative strategies and indicators of staging are also presented.

Key Words: homicide • sexual homicide • autoerotic fatalities • staging • crime scene staging • crime scene • false allegations • false allegations of sexual assault • criminal motivation
