On the Watch

Approaching national security from the inside out

Members of the Hamilton Police Service Emergency Response Unit assess the situation on a hijacked train during a counterterrorism exercise in Hamilton, Ontario, in May 2008.

Finding the pattern

What we can learn from the
behavioural sciences

Getting insight into an offender’s thoughts and actions, interviewing witnesses and linking violent crimes are all tools that can help bring focus to a complex criminal investigation. Many investigators are now turning to the behavioural sciences for this support, and they are sold on the results.
