Assembling the contents of an academic book
dealing with some new technology or a
sophisticated advancement is the task given
over to the academic researcher who
typically embraces the challenge with
dedication and purpose for it is what makes
us unique among our brethren. Libraries are
filled with esoteric research that is the
product of excellent minds, research that is so
arcane and possibly cryptic that it might
remain on the shelves for potentially
centuries until an application succeeds in
being brought forth by some other, equally
sophisticated and talented, individuals who
have the rare talent of merging new-found
knowledge with practical application.
Such is not the case with this academic text
for it was immediately observed that this
method of data analysis and mining could be
brought to bear in helping to solve some very
complex problems that have plagued the law
enforcement community since the advent of
the database and its concomitant assortment
of management systems. The easy
applications, that is to say, the most trivial
but definitely useful, were quickly subsumed
