Review
With contributions from both Australia and the United Kingdom, this is an interesting and well written study that should appeal to anyone involved in intelligence gathering and analysis within police circles. - Thames View, No 30, December 2005
Product Description
Strategic Thinking in Criminal Intelligence deals with the way that law enforcement establishes priorities in the face of a dynamic and complex criminal environment. Part perspective, part instructional and part polemic, it deals directly with the mechanisms of strategic criminal intelligence analysis at the highest levels of policing. The first three chapters describe the development of criminal intelligence philosophy in the UK and Australia, providing an essential reference to understanding the intelligence landscape of today. The central core of the book provides a road map to strategic criminal intelligence analysis and intelligence production, concluding with two chapters that probe the future of strategic thinking in law enforcement. The book will be essential reading for students of policing, and for police practitioners concerned with strategic criminal intelligence in today's rapidly changing environment.
