Unreferenced date August 2008 Detective Weekly was a United Kingdom British story paper of the 1930s Overview Detective Weekly was a continuation of the Union Jack magazine Union Jack , the storypaper which had begun in 1894 and which had for most of its life been famous as Sexton Blake s own paper . Issue 1 of Detective Weekly was released in 1933, a week after the last Union Jack . It was a larger, tabloid sized paper, and had less use of colour on the cover than its predecessor. The first series of stories concentrated on Sexton Blake, and his family history, with a wayward brother turning up. However in later issues the character could be dropped entirely. He returned to the paper in the late 1930s, but most of the stories were reprints of earlier Union Jack stories from the 1920s. The paper was discontinued in 1940, following the introduction of paper rationing in the World War II . This left The Sexton Blake Library as the only publication containing stories of the detective, aside from the comic strips in Knockout UK comics Knockout .

Unreferenced date October 2009 A store detective is employed to deter and detect theft in retail outlets fact date October 2009 . The term is no longer frequently used in the retail industry. More common terms today with major retailers are Loss Prevention Agent, Detective or Investigator and Asset Protection Officer or Investigator. Special Officer, once common, is now rarely used, as few jurisdictions still allow it. Overview Store detectives may be self employed on a contract basis but most are employees of the retailer, of a security firm with an outsourcing arrangement with the retailer, or of an agency with a similar agreement. The job involves patrolling stores in the role of an ordinary shopper, watching for shoplifters. The detective follows any shopper behaving suspiciously, and keeps records of such observations. The key difference between a store detective and a security guard is that the former s role is covert. If they observe an individual shoplifting, they may prevent them from leaving the store until the merchandise is returned or paid for. Alternatively they may also decide to arrest temporarily detain a shoplifter until law enforcement arrives at a retail outlet so as the suspect is dealt with in accordance with the law. Most stores require their detectives to have stable work histories and no criminal record. Common backgrounds include the armed services, fire & rescue services, security and policing. In the UK, distance learning courses in store detection are offered by The Security Industry Training Organisation.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The detective d nouement is a variant on the literature literary d nouement common to Mystery fiction mystery stories. It was first popularised by the Sherlock Holmes novels , but is present in many stories, such as the works of Agatha Christie or in Ellen Raskin s young adult novel The Westing Game . In detective stories, the d nouement is the segment of a mystery novel in which the protagonist of the story, or a character serving in his or her stead, reveals all of the clues and lays out the conclusion for the other characters. This is usually in an attempt to show the readers how the character came to the conclusion and figured out the mystery. Some readers enjoy the detective d nouement while others find it annoying, claiming that it makes them feel that the author has belittled their ability to figure out the mystery on their own. One famous example of the detective d nouement is the explanatory speech given by a forensic psychology psychologist after the Climax narrative climax of the 1960 film Psycho 1960 film Psycho . In the TV show Monk TV series Monk , Adrian Monk often uses this method with the words here s what happened. A black and white montage of the events prior to the murder accompanies his narration.
