Food Supply Worries ofan Agricultural Scientist — Climate Change
People involved in world agriculture have no patience with the supposed “debate” about climate change. We are already seeing the effects, and the projections for the future are not encouraging.
The most troubling feature of this phenomenon (and one that occurs even if you don't believe that it is human-driven) is that we are facing increasing variation in climatic events. The yearly changes in average temperature or even annual rainfall may not be dramatic, but what we are anticipating is that there will be more extreme weather events.

Criminal Intelligence Analysis
1 Criminal Intelligence Analysis (sometimes called
Crime Analysis) has been recognized by law enforcement as
a useful support tool for over twenty-five years and is
4 successfully used within the international community. Within
the last decade, the role and position of Criminal Intelligence
Analysis in the global law enforcement community has
7 fundamentally changed. Whereas previously there were a few
key countries acting as forerunners and promoters of the
discipline, more and more countries have implemented
10 analytical techniques within their police forces. International
organizations, such as INTERPOL, Europol and the
International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
13 (ICTY), all have Criminal Intelligence Analysts among their
personnel. The techniques are also widely used within private
sector organizations.
16 There are many definitions of Criminal Intelligence
Analysis in use throughout the world. The one definition
agreed in June 1992 by an international group of twelve
19 European INTERPOL member countries and subsequently
adopted by other countries is as follows: 'The identification of
and provision of insight into the relationship between crime
22 data and other potentially relevant data with a view to police
and judicial practice'.
The central task of Analysis is to help officials — law
25 enforcers, policy makers, and decision makers — deal more
effectively with uncertainty, to provide timely warning of
threats, and to support operational activity by analysing crime.
28 Criminal Intelligence Analysis is divided into
operational (or tactical) and strategic analysis. The basic skills
required are similar, and the difference lies in the level of
31 detail and the type of client to whom the products are aimed.
Operational Analysis aims to achieve a specific law
enforcement outcome. This might be arrests, seizure or
34 forfeiture of assets or money gained from criminal activities,
or the disruption of a criminal group. Operational Analysis
usually has a more immediate benefit. Strategic Analysis is
37 intended to inform higher level decision making and the
benefits are realized over the longer term. It is usually aimed
at managers and policy-makers rather than individual
40 investigators. The intention is to provide early warning of
threats and to support senior decision-makers in setting
priorities to prepare their organizations to be able to deal with
43 emerging criminal issues. This might mean allocating
resources to different areas of crime, increased training in a
crime fighting technique, or taking steps to close a loophole in
46 a process.
Both disciplines make use of a range of analytical
techniques and Analysts need to have a range of skills and
49 attributes.
