Intelligence-Led Policing : A Policing Innovation

Carter (public and environmental affairs, Indiana U. Purdue U.-Indianapolis) applies what has been learned from the adoption of community policing in the US to identify successful implementation practices for intelligence-led policing. He examines factors that facilitate or inhibit the adoption of intelligence-led policing, exploring innovation diffusion constructs for facilitation, organizational structure and context characteristics that influence its adoption, the effects of analyst performance evaluation methods, and whether differences exist among agencies that self-report to have adopted intelligence-led policing and agencies that have adopted it as operationalized in an index, ending with case studies of the Florida Fusion Center and Southern Nevada Counter-Terrorism Center.
