Insight Social Network Analysis Webinar

Social network analysis (SNA) can be a useful tool for criminal investigations and police community efforts to reduce violent crime. Understanding how data is compiled and structured, how it may be utilized, and the limitations that it has is critical for leaders considering the use of SNA. This National Public Safety Partnership (PSP)-hosted webinar outlined the concept of SNA and how this tool can be utilized to further crime-reduction strategies. Topics included visualizing a network and types of network data related to SNA, understanding group dynamics and the utilization of SNA in focused deterrence, SNA associated with hot spots as well as National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) linkages, and potential implementation challenges and legal considerations.
