This book explains how improvements in intelligence analysis can bene!t policing. Written by experts with experience in police higher education and professional practice, this accessible text provides students with both practical knowledge and a critical understanding of the subject. The book is divided into three key parts: Part One outlines how the concept of intelligence was initially embraced and implemented by the police and provides a critique of intelligence sources. It examines the strategic use of intelligence and its procedural framework. It provides a summary of the role of the intelligence analyst, establishing the characteristics of effective practitioners. Part Two describes good practice and explains the practical tools and techniques that effective analysts use in the reduction and investigation of crime. Part Three examines more recent developments in intelligence analysis and looks to the future. This includes the move to multi-agency working, the advent of big data and the role of AI and machine learning. Filled with case studies and practical examples, this book is essential reading for all undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in Professional Policing, and Criminal Justice more widely. It will also be of interest to existing practitioners in this field.

The use of criminal intelligence remains a significant area of growth, especially across the wider “policing” arena. This book offers an accessible and critical account of how intelligence analysis can improve policing and law enforcement.This second edition has been updated with new research and material offering inventive modes of critical thinking, including both practical knowledge and an evaluative understanding of the applications and risks associated with intelligence. Some of the key features of the book include:Advances in theories of intelligence analysisCritical evaluation of intelligence sourcesRecommendations to improve practiceLeadership and management approaches in intelligence-led policingStrategic applications of intelligence for crime reductionTechnological innovation and data science integration in intelligence workFuture-focused, offering new ideas to develop policy and practiceThis volume is aimed at students and scholars of law enforcement intelligence studies, policing, and criminology. It will also be a useful resource for policymakers as well as practitioners in a range of law enforcement settings.
