- Abstract
- A review was undertaken of the developments made with integrating forensicevidence into the analytical process to support police investigations. Evidencesuch as DNA, fingerprints, fibers, accelerants, tyre marks, and so forth, cansupport to differing degrees the various working theories or hypotheses aboutthe nature of the alleged crime, the persons of interest and the modusoperandi. Investigators however, either forensic or detective, bring variousbiases to evidence capture and analysis, biases which are better understood inthe intelligence community. Structured analytical techniques have a long his-tory in intelligence analysis, for example analysis of competing hypotheses,which serves several purposes: information sharing, clarity of communication,and to highlight the common forms of bias brought to bear in an investigation.We illustrate the representation of links based on traces and intelligence, andhow these can be stored in databases permitting better“reasoning”with evi-dence. We also present some recommendations for integration of forensic intelligence into the investigative analytic process and review information sys-tems in this area
