sekundærundersøkelse

A sekundærundersøkelse, or secondary investigation, refers to a subsequent examination or inquiry conducted after an initial investigation has already taken place. This type of investigation is typically initiated when new information comes to light, when the findings of the initial investigation are deemed insufficient or questionable, or when there are grounds to believe that the first investigation was flawed or incomplete.

The purpose of a sekundærundersøkelse can vary. It might aim to corroborate or refute the conclusions of the original inquiry, to explore specific aspects that were not adequately addressed initially, or to uncover evidence that was missed. These investigations can occur in a wide range of contexts, including legal proceedings, scientific research, journalistic inquiries, and internal audits within organizations.

The process of a sekundærundersøkelse often involves re-examining existing evidence, gathering new evidence, interviewing witnesses again, and potentially employing different methodologies or expertise. The impetus for a secondary investigation can arise from various sources, such as appeals, whistleblowers, or independent reviews. The outcome of a sekundærundersøkelse can lead to the confirmation of original findings, the reversal of conclusions, or the identification of new issues that require further action. It serves as a mechanism for ensuring thoroughness, accuracy, and accountability in investigative processes.
