Association Analysis
This is the analysis that provides law enforcement officials with the relationships that are made between the pertinent players in the commission of the crime (Peterson, p. 30).
Association analysis depicts the relationships among people, groups, businesses, or other entities in a way which provides the investigator, prosecutor, or jury with information on the nature of the group and the manner in which the group interacts. For the purposes of this volume, persons banding together in some criminal enterprise are referenced; a general association analysis can be done to show noncriminal group activity as well (Peterson, p. 30)."

The detectives then obtained search warrants, which were executed at the homes of the suspects. At the home of the primary suspect, the detectives found sneakers with traces of blood. Lab tests proved that the blood belonged to the family pet, Ben. The lab report was 99.99% a match to Ben's blood, and, thanks to the family dog's attempt to protect his owners, the case was successfully prosecuted.

The work requires skills in modern technology, the use of a computer, and an ability to read and comprehend extensive technical reports, and to work with the various law enforcement agencies and others involved in the substantiation of evidence (Peterson, p. 25).
