Mapping and Investigating Covert Networks via Network Analysis and Text Mining
Applying network analysis to co-offender data and other types of covert networks can help to select strategic leads for further investigation and overcoming limitations with profiling. A key challenge with this approach is data collection since classic methods such as surveys, questionnaires and observations are often inapplicable. Alternatively, relevant information about covert networks can be contained in unstructured, natural language text data, such as communication data, material from court hearings, reports from subject matter experts, and data from the (participatory) web. In this talk, I present my work on methods, technologies and applications for constructing covert network data from various accounts of behavioral trace data, mainly text data, and for considering the content of information and communication data for network analysis. I provide examples from my research on the Sudan, where critical interactions include conflicts and coalitions between ethnic groups and rivalries over natural resources. I will also talk about my work on email data analysis of a corporation indicted of white- collar crime. Finally, I will touch on data privacy and security issues related to studying covert networks.
