In a previous paper [4], we described the induction process that led to the proposition of a forensic intelligence framework.
Not only will the implementation of a general model break barriers between specific fields of study in forensic science and intelligence, but it will also help solve issues that are common across crime and trace types (hence the name ‘transversal’).
Indeed, a transversal model has the potential to offer a common vocabulary and an integrated framework, and will also assist in defining crossdiscipline difficulties.
It was observed that fundamental issues were treated in a similar way in two apparently different areas (i.e. illicit drugs and false identity documents).
The general framework proposed in Part I [4] is a first significant step towards defining forensic intelligence, situating its role in policing, and exposing the potential opportunities and limitations.
