Jerry H. Ratcliffe Intelligence-Led Policing

Produktbeskrivelse

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? These are just a few of the questions that this book seeks to answer. The revised and updated third edition of this foundational policing text includes new case studies and viewpoints, a revised crime funnel for serious crime, and a new chapter expanding on intelligence-led policing ethics and risk. A revised structure within the central chapters brings forward the definition of intelligence-led policing, increases discussion around confidential sources and informants, and highlights new thinking in police decision-making and risk management. Changes reflect the continuing evolution of ILP into a framework capable of encompassing more operational police activity than simply organised crime and recidivist offenders. Topics covered in this book include: • The origins and aims of intelligence-led policing • A comparison of intelligence-led policing with other conceptual models of policing • An exploration of analysis concepts and the role of analysis in target selection • Evaluations of intelligence-led policing as a crime-control strategy Written by an expert in the field, this third edition continues to offer a comprehensive and engaging introduction to intelligence-led policing for students, practitioners, and scholars of policing, criminal intelligence, and crime analysis. This book will be of particular interest to professionals within the law enforcement environment: senior officers, middle management, analysts, and operational staff.
