Understanding Dark Networks: A Strategic Framework for the Use of Social Network Analysis de Daniel Cunningham

Understanding Dark Networks: A Strategic Framework for the Use of Social Network Analysis

Autor Daniel Cunningham, Sean Everton, Philip Murphy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2016
Dark networks are the illegal and covert networks (e.g, insurgents, jihadi groups, or drug cartels) that security and intelligence analysts must track and identify to be able to disrupt and dismantle them. This text explains how this can be done by using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method. Written in an accessible manner, it provides an introduction to SNA, presenting tools and concepts, and showing how SNA can inform the crafting of a wide array of strategies for the tracking and disrupting of dark networks.

Recenzii

Finally! Accessible yet comprehensive, Understanding Dark Networks is a much needed and long overdue guide to analyzing covert, and all other, social networks. This is a must-read for anyone even considering using social network analysis effectively.
Cunningham, Everton, and Murphy's book is most relevant for practitioners, researchers, or anyone seeking to understand dark networks. Practitioners often worry that SNA is difficult to learn and comprehend, but through Cunningham's easily accessible writing, anyone can understand and apply it after reading this book. Understanding Dark Networks would also have utility for teaching SNA to undergraduates, graduate, postgraduate students in many fields. The early chapters are accessible to anyone, but the last section requires baseline statistical knowledge. Social Network Analysis represents the future of dark network analysis, ranging from jihadist groups to gangs. All intelligence analysts and researchers would see their research value increase with an in-depth understanding of SNA. Understanding Dark Networks should be an essential read for any practitioner or security scholar interested in learning or furthering their knowledge of SNA.
