Deductive reasoning is the process os using previously accepted statements to draw a conclusion.

I'll show you an example.

A detective determines that <em>the person who committed the crime is a relative of the victim and walks with a limp.

The previously accepted statements are in italics and the conclusion is shown in bold.
