Social Network Analysis (catch all)

[davidbfpo]

A new UK Home Office publication 'Social network analysis of an urban street gang using police intelligence data' (33 pgs):

This report uses intelligence data from Greater Manchester Police to systematically understand local gangs, helping target police activities. The method identifies interrelations in gang-related, criminal, and drugs-related networks within the data, and demonstrates the importance of understanding the strong role of other social links within a network.
The report is accompanied by a practical ‘How to guide’ (14 pgs) for police forces considering using this approach.
