Wednesday 12th April 2017 “The hypothesis testing approach should be something that all analysts use for conducting crime and intelligence analysis.” Police Senior Intelligence Analyst There is still time for you to book your place on our one-day hypothesis testing crime and intelligence analysis masterclass. This one-day UCL JDI masterclass introduces the hypothesis testing analysis approach that is designed to improve the explanatory content of problem profiles and other analytical products. Most analytical products developed in policing and community safety often only describe a problem, rather than understanding and explaining it. On this course we take you through the practical application of the hypothesis testing analysis method and illustrate its use across a full range of crime and community safety problems. The course is suitable for the analysis of all types of volume crime (e.g., burglary, violent crime, theft), serious crime (e.g., child sexual exploitation, sexual assaults), organised crime, cybercrime, road traffic accidents (e.g., bicycle collisions and cyclist fatalities) and all other types of incidents relating to crime and ASB (examples from previous courses have included counterfeit goods, lottery scams, illegal imports, youth cannabis use, repeat callers, and problem families). The course is also suitable for those wanting to improve how they analyse the offending of individuals or groups, or improve their analysis of communities and individuals that are most victimised, experience most harm, or are most vulnerable.
