Abstract

This chapter discusses crime analysis, which has been proven vital in building capacity for evidence-based policing. It highlights a major pillar of evidence-based policing, which involves using research and analysis to guide both internal and external operations. It also describes crime analysts that support the development, application, and evaluation of evidence-based strategies and translate research knowledge into practical applications. The chapter examines the development of crime analysis in policing and the extent to which this has moved police agencies in the direction of evidence-based practice. It considers the benefits and limitations of current crime analysis practices and provides suggestions and illustrations of ways that crime analysis can be expanded and used more strategically to facilitate evidence-based policing.
