Abstract

A terrorist network is a special kind of social network with emphasis on both secrecy and efficiency. Such networks (consisting of nodes and links) need to be analyzed and visualized in order to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding that enables network destabilization. Previous research on terrorist network analysis has to a large degree focused on analysis of nodes. This paper presents the CrimeFighter Assistant, a novel knowledge management tool for terrorist network analysis. CrimeFighter Assistant treats links as first class objects and provides a better balance between network, node, and link analysis.
