SOCIAL FORECASTING: A literature review of research promoted by the United States National Security System to model human behavior
The development of new information and communication technologies increased the volume of information flows within society. For the security forces, this phenomenon presents new opportunities for collecting, processing and analyzing information linked with the opportunity to collect a vast and diver...
