Intelligence-Led Policing (ILP) in Law Enforcement Agencies
Pros and cons
ILP uses technology, data collection, and analysis innovation to produce useful and valuable intelligence.

These approaches and concepts have become important tools in detecting, predicting, and preventing crime. They provide understanding and accuracy on how to identify crime hotspots, locations, and suspects (cite Meijer, A., & Wessels, M. (2019).).

This has promoted bias on how security operations are being handled on individuals from certain backgrounds.

Society is exposed to more risks from the exposure and influence of digital media, which poses more reasons to use criminal intelligence in national and homeland security operations. It would be unreasonable to solve present-day or future crimes with solutions of the past (Gkougkoudis et al....
