Writing for Business Computing World, Steven George-Hilley writes of the potential for business intelligence (BI) to help the government tackle crime.
There can be no excuses for the Government to delay fully embracing BI in the fight against crime. Thanks for the explosion of social media, a wealth of data exists to track the movements, analyse and identify potential or ongoing offenders before they commit a criminal act. Developments in analytics and real-time data analysis are making BI a serious weapon in the battle against crime, and the Government should embrace it without delay, to cut costs, improve services and save lives.
