Police View vs. Forensic View: The network you think exists vs. The network that actually exists

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Police intelligence links cases only when people or addresses overlap, producing fragmented networks that collapse when a “key actor” is removed. Forensic intelligence (fingerprints/DNA) adds missing offenders and connections, transforming isolated cases into a highly connected structure. Police collapse the network they think exists. Forensics reveal the network that actually does.
