CRI Network Podcast Episode (12)
"Place Network Investigations Explained" | Dr. Tamara Herold
In this episode of The Blue Line Project Podcast, Dr. Tamora Herold explains how Place Network Investigations (PNI) help law enforcement better understand and reduce crime by focusing on networks of places rather than isolated incidents.
We discuss how PNI complements hotspot policing, crime analysis, and problem-oriented policing while helping agencies identify the underlying conditions that drive crime.
