Link Analysis is an extremely powerful tool used by law enforcement for over twenty years. It is ideal for revealing the hidden connections among perpetrators and the structure of clandestine, organized crime families, white collar fraud syndicates, narcotics cartels, and terrorist groups. The nodes are then connected with solid or dotted lines of varying thickness called edges. You can choose circles, squares, diamonds, and triangles to represent nodes, and color code them to show their connections as cells, group membership, or participation in activities. The system automatically boxes nodes to show cell, intra- group or inccident functions or relationships.
Entire cells can be color coded and highlighted.
The system additionally provides you with the ability to annotate the diagram with text and symbols, to label, comment, or draw attention to special relationships within the diagram. Nodes, boxes, and cells can easily be moved using a mouse. Multiple diagrams can be displayed simultaneously on the screen. With the dialog box present on the screen, you can make changes to the data set and the diagram. The What-if mode hide nodes and their connections and restores hidden nodes and connections to the diagram.
