The Illinois Integrated Justice System brief publication, "Incident Based Crime Analysis," has a chart on page two that describes categories of data (meaning information) most useful to crime analysis, intelligence analysis, investigative analysis and operations analysis. This chart, besides briefly defining the types of analysis, helps distinguish the differences between them.
Analysts seeking to explain the types of data they need can use this as a nice summary to support their request for data. The information needed for crime analysis and intelligence analysis is not the same. Readers unfamiliar or new to analysis in policing should find this a good snapshot to help further your understanding of what information is analyzed in policing. Some of the information is significantly different than that analyzed in national security and the military.
