Douglas H. Harris · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 1975
Criminal intelligence is a law enforcement function that supports investigators, decision-makers, and policymakers in their attempt to prevent and control crime. This paper describes recent efforts to improve the effectiveness of criminal intelligence through the development and implementation of analytical methods. The intelligence analysis cycle is defined, programs to enhance analytical capabilities within law enforcement agencies are summarized, and a new computer-based program for intelligence analysis is described.
