Abstract
The opening chapter provides a selective review of law enforcement intelligence, including the definition of intelligence, categories of intelligence, intelligence targets, structure of the intelligence unit, the intelligence unit function, intelligence training, and performance evaluation. The second chapter introduces the user to those works which focus on the structural aspects of intelligence work. Although its main intent is to address law enforcement organizations, the chapter presents books concerned with both political and foreign policy intelligence, as well as military intelligence. In Chapter three works on intelligence acquisition address such issues as private investigation, business intelligence and industrial espionage, criminal investigation, economic crime investigation, organized crime investigation, arson investigation, sexual offenses, and other investigative techniques. Other chapters profile works on counterintelligence, intelligence support, research and analysis, selected journals, intelligence libraries, and the law enforcement intelligence profession.
