So You Want To Be a Citizen Detective
by Rita Williams, Clutch Justice
Clues are everywhere. It’s a matter of knowing where to look. I’ve investigated hundreds of cases as both a private citizen and a professional. The techniques I’ve shared are helpful for restorative justice advocates, participatory defense teams, mitigation specialists, grassroots investigators, and curious research enthusiasts.
My first eBook, written for advocates and professionals alike, will help you scour and uncover clues, use data to spot trends and “tells,” and conduct open source investigations with integrity. Whether you’re challenging local power, digging through public records, or holding systems accountable, this guide gives you the tools to do it right.
What’s Inside?
- Access and interpret FOIA and court records
- Map misconduct and identify repeat players
- Use social media and digital breadcrumbs to track timelines
- Connect the dots between seemingly unrelated events
- Protect your digital footprint and your credibility
You don’t need a badge to pursue the truth—just a browser, a notebook, and a fierce sense of justice.
