A Handbook on Human Intelligence for Practitioners
Gebonden Engels 2026 9781035327737Samenvatting
This comprehensive Handbook explores Human Intelligence (HUMINT) as a critical component of security, law enforcement and military operations. Leading experts examine the ethical and psychological dimensions of HUMINT while addressing contemporary challenges and future directions.
Contributors investigate key topics such as legislation, accountability, psychological frameworks and the evolving role of technology. They assess ethical dilemmas in HUMINT, advocating for a code of ethics and presenting discussions on military intelligence which position readers at the cutting edge of intelligence evolution. The Handbook argues that future success depends on integrating technology while maintaining human elements, highlighting the importance of strengthening ethical standards and adapting to complex geopolitical environments.
Combining historical analysis with modern lessons, A Handbook on Human Intelligence for Practitioners is an essential resource for law enforcement professionals and government policymakers. Scholars and students of psychology, sociology, law and intelligence studies will also benefit from its actionable insights for understanding human behaviour.
