A Handbook for Intelligence and Crime Analysis by David Cariens

Where was this book fifteen years ago This is a must read for our new analysts before they get corrupted by the system. That includes law enforcement and the intelligence community. In your examples you are giving the reader how to ask the right questions. Without those questions you're not collecting the data required to come up with a more in-depth analysis. Each chapter gives the reader at least one takeaway. Even someone with my 40 years in the intelligence and analysis profession (LE and IC) either validates my own convictions or makes me rethink possibilities. Thanks for the writing awareness of do's and don'ts. It reminds me of the letters I wrote my mom when I was in Vietnam and she would send them back to me with the proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling. Of course my mom was a proof reader for a large New York law firm.
