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.
