"Critical Thinking through Writing" is an essential book for all intelligence officers, analysts, and managers who want their intelligence to be read and understood. Drawing on his extensive CIA and teaching experience, David Cariens offers salient lessons in writing, critical thinking, and ethics. The English language is complex and this book offers practical instruction designed specifically for intelligence personnel. The writing and analysis exercises are invaluable and will improve the skills of any analyst, regardless of their prior experience. With the knowledge from this book, intelligence personnel will ensure their message is clear and concise. --Aaron Clack, Division Criminal Analysis Section Manager, Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Where was this book fifteen years ago !!!!! This is a must read for our new analysts before they get corrupted by the "system". That includes law enforcement and the intelligence community. In your examples you are giving the reader how to ask the right questions. Without those questions you're not collecting the data required to come up with a more in-depth analysis. Each chapter gives the reader at least one takeaway. Even someone with my 40 years in the intelligence and analysis profession (LE and IC) either validates my own convictions or makes me rethink possibilities. Thanks for the writing awareness of do's and don'ts. It reminds me of the letters I wrote my mom when I was in Vietnam and she would send them back to me with the proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling. Of course my mom was a proof reader for a large New York law firm. Edward Feingold, CCA-CICA Senior Intelligence AnalystA Handbook for Intelligence and Crime Analysis provides readers with critical skills in assessing the veracity and utility of intelligence as well as constructing meaningful end-user products. Through a comprehensive analysis of effective writing tactics, David Cariens guides readers in developing skills critical to public safety agencies. .It also fits a critical need given the dramatic expansion of intelligence data, and analysts. William V. PelfryChair, Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness Department Virginia Commonwealth University.David Cariens, a career CIA analyst with five decades of experience as a practitioner and trainer, has written a clear, concise, and practical guide to intelligence and crime analysis writing. This step-by-step handbook covers the spectrum of analytical writing: from conceptualization, assumptions, key judgments, deception and opportunity analysis, to the timely and critical issue of politicization. It belongs in the reference library of every intelligence and crime analyst.- Robert C. Fahlman, O.O.M., Director General, Criminal Intelligence, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Ret'd.)

This book explains how improvements in intelligence analysis can bene!t policing. Written by experts with experience in police higher education and professional practice, this accessible text provides students with both practical knowledge and a critical understanding of the subject. The book is divided into three key parts: Part One outlines how the concept of intelligence was initially embraced and implemented by the police and provides a critique of intelligence sources. It examines the strategic use of intelligence and its procedural framework. It provides a summary of the role of the intelligence analyst, establishing the characteristics of effective practitioners. Part Two describes good practice and explains the practical tools and techniques that effective analysts use in the reduction and investigation of crime. Part Three examines more recent developments in intelligence analysis and looks to the future. This includes the move to multi-agency working, the advent of big data and the role of AI and machine learning. Filled with case studies and practical examples, this book is essential reading for all undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in Professional Policing, and Criminal Justice more widely. It will also be of interest to existing practitioners in this field.
Strategic Thinking in Criminal Intelligence is designed to complement the drive for more strategic planning in law enforcement crime prevention and detection. The criminal environment is 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 beyond tactical investigations and operational outcomes. Expanded by three chapters, this edition emphasises intelligence products, risk and threat assessments, and the unfolding complications of intelligence sharing. Expert authors drawn from intelligence agencies around the world provide a unique insight into the philosophy and practice of leading strategic criminal intelligence specialists. It is a vital resource for intelligence practitioners, crime analysts, law enforcement managers and advanced students of policing.
This book explores the conundrum that political fortune is dependent both on social order and big, constitutive crime. An act of outrageous harm depends on rules and protocols of crime scene discovery and forensic recovery, but political authorities review events for a social agenda, so that crime is designated according to the relative absence or presence of politics. In investigating this problem, the book introduces the concepts ‘intelligence crime’ and ‘critical forensics.’ It also reviews as an exemplar of this phenomenon ‘apex crime,’ a watershed event involving government in the support of a contested political and social order and its primary opponent as the obvious offender, which is then subject to a confirmation bias. Chapters feature case study analysis of a selection of familiar, high profile crimes in which the motives and actions of security or intelligence actors are considered as blurred or smeared depending on their interconnection in transactional political events, or according to friend/enemy status.
What is intelligence-led policing? Who came up with the idea? Where did it come from? How does it relate to other policing paradigms? What distinguishes an intelligence-led approach to crime reduction? How is it designed to have an impact on crime? Does it prevent crime? What is crime disruption? Is intelligence-led policing just for the police? These are questions asked by many police professionals, including senior officers, analysts and operational staff. Similar questions are also posed by students of policing who have witnessed the rapid emergence of intelligence-led policing from its British origins to a worldwide movement. These questions are also relevant to crime prevention practitioners and policymakers seeking long-term crime benefits. The answers to these questions are the subject of this book. This book brings the concepts, processes and practice of intelligence-led policing into focus, so that students, practitioners and scholars of policing, criminal intelligence and crime analysis can better understand the evolving theoretical and empirical dynamics of this rapidly growing paradigm. The first book of its kind, enhanced by viewpoint contributions from intelligence experts and case studies of police operations, provides a much-needed and timely in-depth synopsis of this emerging movement in a practical and accessible style.
Data stealing is a major concern on the internet as hackers and criminals have begun using simple tricks to hack social networks and violate privacy. Cyber-attack methods are progressively modern, and obstructing the attack is increasingly troublesome, regardless of whether countermeasures are taken. The Dark Web especially presents challenges to information privacy and security due to anonymous behaviors and the unavailability of data. To better understand and prevent cyberattacks, it is vital to have a forecast of cyberattacks, proper safety measures, and viable use of cyber-intelligence that empowers these activities. Dark Web Pattern Recognition and Crime Analysis Using Machine Intelligence discusses cyberattacks, security, and safety measures to protect data and presents the shortcomings faced by researchers and practitioners due to the unavailability of information about the Dark Web. Attacker techniques in these Dark Web environments are highlighted, along with intrusion detection practices and crawling of hidden content. Covering a range of topics such as malware and fog computing, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, practitioners, industry professionals, computer scientists, scholars, instructors, and students.
In 2004, the Government Accountability Office provided a report detailing approximately 200 government-based data-mining projects. While there is comfort in knowing that there are many effective systems, that comfort isn‘t worth much unless we can determine that these systems are being effectively and responsibly employed.Written by one of the most
This book examines the use of social network analysis (SNA) in operational environments from the perspective of those who actually apply it. A rapidly growing body of literature suggests that SNA can reveal significant insights into the overall structure of criminal networks as well as the position of critical actors within such groups. This book draws on the existing SNA and intelligence literature, as well as qualitative interviews with crime intelligence analysts from two Australian state law enforcement agencies to understand its use by law enforcement agencies and the extent to which it can be used in practice. It includes a discussion of the challenges that analysts face when attempting to apply various network analysis techniques to criminal networks. Overall, it advances SNA as an investigative tool, and provides a significant contribution to the field that will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners interested in social network analysis, intelligence analysis and law enforcement.
Managing Intelligence: A Guide for Law Enforcement Professionals is designed to assist practitioners and agencies build an efficient system to gather and manage intelligence effectively and lawfully in line with the principles of intelligence-led policing. Research for this book draws from discussions with hundreds of officers in different agencies, roles, and ranks from the UK, United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Highlighting common misunderstandings in law enforcement about intelligence, the book discusses the origins of these misunderstandings and puts intelligence in context with other policing models.
