JST426 Crime Analysis and Investigation (8)
Abstract| This subject will examine not only the patterns and types of criminal behaviour but will suggest proposals and strategies for providing a tactical response to such patterns. By examining the concept of crime analysis, strategies can be developed which build and improve upon current investigation practices. Topics such as profiling, crime behaviour analysis and intelligence based resource deployment will be explored. The latest research from areas such as 'environmental criminology' and its practical application will also be discussed. |
