Jerry Ratcliffe's new book "Intelligence-led Policing" will be out next week. (Update to post - it is available today!)I was privileged to read a draft and contribute a vignette to the book and I highly recommend it (not because I have a vignette in it - I don't know if it made the final draft!). John Eck says "This may be the most important book on policing in over a decade."
Jerry's Intelligence-led policing page includes well-researched articles focued on ILP.
"The central aim of this book is to bring the concepts and processes of intelligence-led policing into better focus, so that students, practitioners and scholars of policing, criminal intelligence and crime analysis can better understand the evolving dynamics of this new paradigm in policing. The main audience are professionals within the law enforcement environment; senior officers, middle management, analysts and operational staff. With this in mind, each chapter contains a Viewpoint from a professional in the field. These expert views are drawn from specialists from around the globe, and I am indebted to the authors for agreeing to share their insight.
What is intelligence-led policing? Who came up with the idea? Where did it come from? How does it related 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? What is crime disruption? Is intelligence-led policing just for the police? These are questions asked by many police professionals, including senior officers, analysts and operational staff. Similar questions are also posed by students of policing who have witnessed the rapid emergence of intelligence-led policing from its British origins to worldwide movement. These questions are also relevant to crime prevention practitioners and policy-makers seeking long-term crime benefits. The answers to these questions are the subject of this book."
