TUDELA POBLETE, Patricio. Criminal analysis, proactivity and development of evidence-based police strategies. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2015, vol.57, n.1, pp.137-152. ISSN 1794-3108.

This article examines how analysts can assist police and prosecution institutions in the region to meet emerging challenges, thus the need for proactivity, enhanced efficiency and improved efficacy. The method used is the description of the criminal analyst's relevant function and "traditional" tasks, along with a trend review and the revision of requisites associated to design and enforcement of effective criminal policies. The search for determinants of better results along with an incursion into police and criminal prosecution actions represent "new provocations" to be addressed with an intensive use of the scientific method, particularly in dealing with observation, testing and verification of what actually works or does not work. Then, a transition that questions the role of the analyst and the analysis itself is observed from "information management" to "knowledge management" in the organizations.

Palavras-chave : Criminal analysis; police proactivity; police assessment; police evaluation; police performance; criminal prosecution.
