Introduction to Crime Analysis: Basic Resources for Criminal Justice Practice de Deborah Osborne

Introduction to Crime Analysis: Basic Resources for Criminal Justice Practice

Autor Deborah Osborne, Susan Wernicke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2003

Notăm cu interes faptul că Deborah Osborne și Susan Wernicke își fundamentează lucrarea pe o realitate incontestabilă a securității moderne: după evenimentele din 11 septembrie, capacitatea de a transforma informația brută în intelligence acționabil a devenit vitală pentru orice agenție de aplicare a legii. Putem afirma că acest volum reprezintă o resursă esențială pentru instituțiile care doresc să implementeze unități de analiză, oferind un cadru metodologic riguros, dar accesibil. Găsim în această carte un ghid pas cu pas care demitizează procesele complexe, fiind special conceput pentru a sprijini agențiile mici care nu dispun de resursele financiare pentru personal specializat. Complementar volumului Crime and Intelligence Analysis de Glenn Grana, care oferă o abordare integrată în timp real, lucrarea de față se concentrează pe resursele de bază și pe infrastructura necesară pentru a pune bazele unei unități funcționale de la zero. Structura cărții urmărește o progresie logică, de la definirea tipologiilor de analiză în primul capitol, până la instrumentarul tehnic detaliat în secțiunea „The Crime Analyst’s Toolbox”. Autorii ghidează cititorul prin cele cinci etape critice — colectare, colaționare, analiză, diseminare și feedback — asigurându-se că procesul este nu doar înțeles teoretic, ci și aplicabil prin studii de caz și exemple de cartografiere geografică (GIS). Analiza sistematică a criminalității este prezentată aici nu doar ca o opțiune tactică, ci ca o armă necesară în protejarea comunității.

Descriere scurtă

Successfully analyze crime at any level of law enforcement!

This book is a practical resource guide for the development of crime analysis in local law enforcement. The tragedy of September 11, 2001, has raised awareness on how crucial it is to analyze information and intelligence. Smaller agencies that cannot financially justify hiring a full-time analyst will find strategies and techniques to teach officers the methods of analysis. Introduction to Crime Analysis: Basic Resources for Criminal Justice Practice provides basic tools and step-by-step directions that will improve the skills and knowledge of new crime analysts.

From the editors: “Military strategists have used analysis for centuries; it makes sense to know as much as possible about the enemy and about the conditions and causes of a situation if we hope to institute any kind of significant change for the better. Career criminals are the enemies of a community's well being. Now that advances in information technology give us the means and methods to fully examine and find meaningful knowledge in the vast amounts of existing information on crimes and criminals, we have an obligation to use our technological strength to protect innocent people. Systematic crime analysis as a law enforcement and public safety asset has become not only possible, but also truly necessary as a weapon in the war against crime.”

Along with defining the various roles of the crime analyst, Introduction to Crime Analysis demonstrates how to:
  • improve the personal skills necessary to make you a good crime analyst
  • successfully work through the five stages—collection, collation, analysis, dissemination, and feedback and evaluation—of analysis
  • select the appropriate crime mapping software for your agency
  • evaluate the usefulness of your crime analysis products
  • benefit from email discussion groups and professional associations
  • create a crime analysis unit-including policies and procedures as well as marketing and funding
This clearly written resource includes case studies, figures, and appendixes that will simplify the learning process. Links to Internet pages also offer resources and information beneficial to both new and experienced crime analysts. Introduction to Crime Analysis will benefit crime analysts, police officers, intelligence analysts, community groups focused on crime prevention, criminal justice students, and police departments and sheriff’s agencies.
