Monday 15-18 May 2017 There is still time for you to book your place on our crime analysis course. The course offers the essential skills that an analyst requires to become pro-actively involved in information-driven, evidence-led, problem solving approaches to reducing crime, ASB and other community safety issues. The course is interactive, and is designed to improve an analyst’s awareness of data that are available across a range of agencies for analysis, extend their skills in analytical techniques, and build their confidence in ensuring that analysis is used to influence decision-making. The course places great emphasis on helping analysts to develop a real understanding of crime (and other public safety issues of interest), and contribute to how these problems are tackled. After taking the course, analysts are much better equipped for producing good quality analysis products such as problem profiles and target profiles 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.
