This subject provides the student with an advanced understanding and mastery of data mining and analytics in the national security, policing and business intelligence contexts. Students will develop a deep understanding of data, and how to interpret patterns in it using various analytical methodologies. Students will also be introduced to and apply a range of prediction technologies and competitive analytical techniques increasingly being used by intelligence officers and investigators. Students will apply these skills to a range of examples including but not limited to: fraud, counter-terrorism, money laundering and other financial crimes. The subject takes a multi-disciplinary approach so that students from different intelligence contexts (national security, policing and business) can learn from other practice areas. Whilst the subject is focused on developing data mining and analytics skills in the intelligence practitioner, investigators and managers who seek to build these skills in their agencies will also benefit from this subject.
