crime detection and (follow-up) investigation

Personnaly, I would go with the above phrase. However, our colleagues may well come up with a happier suggestion.

It's very difficult to suggest a single English phrase here since the scope for the Russian term covers prevention of crime (working with informers, etc.), wiretapping, undercover surveilance, interrogations, line-ups, apprehension of criminals, etc.

Good luck,
Vladimir

detective work

A U.S. government glossary translates this as "operational detective activity" but I'm not so happy with its literalism and suggest this as an alternative.
