What is intelligence-led policing? Who came up with the idea? Where did it originate? How does it related to other policing paradigms? What distinguishes an intelligence-led approach to crime reduction? The answers to these questions are the subject of this book. Intelligence-Led Policing brings the concepts, processes, and practice of intelligence-led policing into focus. It will allow students, practitioners, scholars of policing, criminal intelligence practitioners, and crime analysts to understand better the evolving theoretical and empirical dynamics of this rapidly growing paradigm. Being the first book of its kind, enhanced by viewpoint contributions from intelligence experts and case studies of police operations, Intelligence-Led Policing provides a much-needed and timely in-depth synopsis of this emerging movement in a practical and accessible style.
