Strategic Thinking in Criminal Intelligence

The criminal environment is often one of rapid and significant change, and to be effective, law enforcement is now required to make long-term predictions, anticipate broadly, and think strategically.

Strategic Thinking in Criminal Intelligence is designed to complement this drive for more strategic planning in law enforcement crime prevention and detection. It will be a vital resource for intelligence practitioners, managers and advanced students of policing, giving readers an insight into the philosophy and practice of leading strategic intelligence analysts.
