“…The material barriers, such as poor technological interoperability, technological expertise and data literacy skills, are consistent with the broader literature on intelligence analysis (Belur and Johnson, 2016;Burcher and Whelan, 2018;Innes et al, 2005). Our findings further support criticisms regarding the lack of a strategic and standardised approach to analytical training (Walsh, 2011) that have created impediments to the uptake and use of analytic practices in policing.…”

“…the neglect of family violence and corporate crime). Apart from testing evidence in court, there are well-established ‘best practices’ in intelligence analysis either through peer review or the testing of rival theories (‘red teams’, see Quarmby and Young, 2010: 135; Walsh, 2011: 238) that can challenge the validity of case-based intelligence. While contestation is necessary, it is not sufficient (see, e.g.…”

Datafication and the practice of intelligence production

Datafication of social life affects what society regards as knowledge. Jasanoff’s regimes of sight framework provides three ideal-type models of authorised knowing in environmental data practice. This paper applies Jasanoff's framework for analysing intelligence practice through an exploratory empirical study of crime and intelligence practitioners in a selection of police services in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. The paper argues that the ‘view from somewhere’ (VFS) captures the essence of existing police intelligence practices in the four countries but the ‘view from nowhere’ (VFN) is emerging as a possible future for police intelligence – an approach promoted by technology companies and supported mainly by police leaders and managers. The paper investigates the challenges and limits of a shift by police from VFS to VFN in the production of intelligence; the challenges are primarily political, which threaten the dominance of police contextual knowledge over ‘scientific’ knowledge. These political challenges also have symbolic and material implications. The paper concludes that, because of these challenges, a complete shift from VFS to VFN is not likely to happen. At best the two models might co-exist with the latter subordinate to the imperatives of the former, resulting in further tension between sworn officers and civilians, organisational inertia, as well as technologies that may be under-utilised or abandoned.

“…25 WikiLeaks had already precipitated a greater political and community debate in Australia about the role of intelligence, surveillance and privacy. 26 However, the June 2013 Snowden leaks had a catalytic effect on this debate, particularly when it was revealed the AIC was spying on senior members of the Indonesian government including on behalf of the NSA during US-Indonesian trade talks. 27 From 2013 onwards, increasing debates in the Australian media and community emerged about the application of counter-terrorism laws by various AIC agencies and whether they were appropriate, proportionate and legal.…”

9/11 produced significant changes to the US intelligence community, while in contrast the attacks resulted in incremental changes in the Australian intelligence community (AIC). Fast forward to 2017 however, this article examines how the 2017 Independent Intelligence Review has created the momentum for significant change in the AIC; and what challenges may arise from reform initiatives flowing from the review. While assessing the full impact of the current reform agenda will take years, this article assesses key changes made so far (2017 to October 2020) and if they are resulting in a more effective, coordinated and integrated intelligence community.
