Although police intelligence is becoming increasingly reliant on
technology, it remains a human activity. This is the first textbook
to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date account of police
intelligence work based on current research, and to assess how
intelligence may be used wisely and ethically to influence policing
policy and practice. After explaining the basic tenets of
intelligence, the author, who has extensive experience in the
field, critically examines the development of intelligence
structures and governance of contemporary intelligence collection.
He goes on to assess the threats and opportunities to policing in
the digital age, including the widespread use of social media and
the emergence of 'Big Data'. Part of a new series for students and
practitioners designed to reflect the importance of incorporating
'evidence based policing' within the curriculum and practice, this
much-needed textbook covers not only the technical aspects of
intelligence work but also encourages reflexivity in practice.
