A detective’s team is a family, there may be the lone wolf who solves crimes with unnerving consistency, but they still require back up in today’s modern fight against the criminal underworld, they essentially need collaboration and reinforcement to bring the perpetrator to book, to see justice done; and yet there is the grey area which insists that if a detective has a family of sorts to help in their examinations of the crime, then the criminal themselves relies heavily on those they also have brought into their own fold.
