Predicting crime
Criminometrics treats crime as an econometric object. This paper argues that such ambition cannot scale under current institutions. Crime categories are socially and legally contingent, and crime data are administrative artifacts shaped by reporting, recording, and enforcement. The result is unstable measurement and reflexive feedback that blurs predictive accuracy and fairness with policing practices. Using examples of hotspot prediction, local …
AI and the Reconfiguration of the Counterintelligence Battlefield
Authoritarian regimes are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into counterintelligence systems to boost surveillance, automate deception, and forecast threats with limited oversight. Conversely, liberal democracies face legal, ethical, and institutional hurdles that slow their adoption, leading to increasing gaps in detection, attribution, and resilience. This study examines China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, illustrating how AI strengthe…
Engineering Plausibility in Deception Operations
The paper proposes Narrative Engineering for Deception (NED), a structured, phase-based framework for designing and managing deception operations under verification pressure. It defines four operational phases (penetration, exploitation, interdiction, withdrawal) and seven design levers (point-of-view, coherence, persona, pacing, texture, cognitive alignment, exit strategy) to engineer plausibility and delay falsification in data-rich audit envir…
Public Trust in Australia’s Law Enforcement Agencies and Collecting National Security Intelligence Data
Recently, Australia’s understanding of what constitutes national security has changed. As its outlook changes, so has the Intelligence Community that was once responsible for these issues. As a result, these changes have had implications for public trust. In Australia, the concern for national security was outwardly focused—agencies looked at foreign threats. Yet, now, national security extends to ideological and politically generated domestic th…
Military deterrence of international terrorism
This study addresses the question of whether Operation El Dorado Canyon, the April 1986 U.S. air raid on Libya, influenced the pattern of international terrorism in the period that followed. Specifically, the study documents the frequency and severity of acts of international terrorism over a forty‐one‐month period centered on the date of the raid. Findings indicate that the level of activity of Libyan‐associated terrorist groups and, after a bri…
