情报分析已成为当代警务战略的一个重要组成部分。利用定性数据和与科学知识社会学相关的一些概念的观点，本文提供了一个认识论为导向的批判与犯罪分析相关的一些关键技术。所提供的数据表明，犯罪分析：与传统的警务模式相一致;是一种声称警察行动具有“科学客观性”的方式;在很大程度上取决于警察对数据的看法。有人认为，经常归因于“情报工作”产品的增强客观性的感觉往往被夸大了。犯罪分析的产品更好地理解为构建这些产品时使用的数据和方法的人工制品，而不是提供任何犯罪问题的准确代表。
Intelligence analysis has emerged as an important component of contemporary policing strategies. Drawing upon qualitative data and a perspective informed by some of the concepts associated with the sociology of scientific knowledge, this paper provides an epistemologically oriented critique of some of the key techniques associated with crime analysis. Data presented suggest that crime analysis: is used in line with traditional modes of policing; is a way of claiming 'scientific objectivity' for police actions; and is largely shaped by police perspectives on data. It is argued that the sense of enhanced objectivity often attributed to the products of 'intelligence work' is frequently overstated. The products of crime analysis are better understood as an artefact of the data and methods used in their construction, rather than providing an accurate representation of any crime problems.
