Abstract

Aim: The foundations of criminal analysis in Hungary were laid in the 1990s, based on international standards and recommendations. The emergence of transnational crime has necessitated the implementation of a unified approach to criminal analysis globally. This article presents these methods to highlight both the similarities and differences between national and international practices.Methodology: The study presents the methods and techniques currently applied in domestic criminal analysis and provides an overview of the information obtained through international police cooperation relevant to the field.Findings: The analytical methods used in Hungary and neighboring countries largely adhere to the recommendations issued in the 1990s. However, in the era of "Big Data," all examined police agencies utilize advanced visualization tools to process the increasing volume of data, significantly facilitating the presentation of analytical results.Value: Presenting domestic and international criminal analysis methods and tools may contribute to the potential re-evaluation of national analytical practices. The comparative approach allows for assessing the applicability of techniques used by criminal analysts in neighboring countries to the Hungarian context.
