Abstract

Crime forecasting in studying new and adapting one's own methods, and as a part of criminalistic strategy in combating crime as a preliminary stage, must gain a wider knowledge of the same. For any crime forecasting, it is necessary to have crime data, which are systematically processed in their form and structure and stored in records and databases, while data collection is an essential part on which criminal intelligence activity is based. Criminal intelligence activity precedes criminal intelligence analysis, which can be defined as a system in the process of collecting, processing and presenting data to achieve police goals and thus quality crime forecasting. Basically, this task can be described as data collection and storage through criminal intelligence activity, which are then analytically processed in order to shed light on crimes in the tactical sense, and crime forecasting in the strategic sense. This paper addresses the role of data collection through criminal intelligence and criminal intelligence system as a prerequisite for quality crime forecasting.
