Every missing persons case raises a number of legal, criminological, and psychological issues. Regardless of how we define a “missing person”, an appropriate policy must be adopted by state institutions to react appropriately. This includes the creation of guidelines on who is eligible to make a missing persons report, who is competent to undertake missing person investigations (e.g. police force), but also which of the available investigative methods and tools should be actually used when searching for a missing person.
