Each month we feature a term from our scientific research portfolios that informs significant American justice system issues and solutions.
The term of the month for May, forensic intelligence, is an analytical strategy that combines forensic data (both preliminary and confirmed results) with situational and other relevant crime data (such as open-source databases) to produce case leads, link cases, or inform investigative, tactical, operational, or strategic policing. Law enforcement can use this model to identify crime trends, guide investigations, and enhance public safety.
