Crimea: Russia or Ukraine? An International Law Perspective Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014 after a referendum was held which was not up to international standards. This move was largely condemned by the West and most of the international community does not recognize Crimea as a legitimate part of Russia, though it is now ruled by Russia and applicable to its laws, currency, and military. For example, residents of Crimea, even those who did not vote or voted against the annexation, are subject to the Russian conscription law which states that all healthy males aged 18 are required to complete mandatory military service unless unable to do so for a medical reason or if they are enrolled in a university (Conscription Service, p. 1).

Different academic researchers have suggested over a hundred different types of investigation procedural models. In addition to this proposed model over the years, there has been a challenged whereby the model lack experimental testing to ascertain the truth about the investigation. More so there is a need of evaluating the same model to complement the process of investigation progression in support to the entire scientific community (Learner, D. E. (2009). Electronic cri.
