Strategic Thinking in Criminal Intelligence complements the drive for more effective strategic planning in law enforcement by providing insights into the thinking and practice of leading strategic intelligence analysts. The first chapters establish the place of strategic intelligence in current law enforcement thinking. The central chapters provide a road map for the production of strategic intelligence. The final two chapters dissect the issues surrounding the implementation of intelligence systems and explore the opportunities to develop more strategic thinking in the business of law enforcement. Every chapter is written by a practitioner or researcher closely involved with the law enforcement strategic intelligence field. These contributors are drawn from agencies such as the Australian Crime Commission, the National Criminal Intelligence Service (UK), the Metropolitan Police (London, UK), and the Australian Federal Police.
