Details about Sociocultural Intelligence: A New Discipline in Intelligence Studies Continuum Intelligence Studies:

SOCINT means observing and analyzing such elements as the land; the people; and their communities. Customs; moral attitudes; and culture of foreign populations are integrated into the analysis of the information gathered to maximize the efficiency of security initiatives. A key tool in intelligence and covert operations; SOCINT can mostly be used for nonlethal operations that require a thorough understanding of networks and systems. Simply; by understanding the behavioral aspects of relationships and systems; we will have a greater opportunity for 'success' by knowing who; what; where; when; why; and how to influence within the systems themselves. Not only a tool for war fighting; SOCINT is needed for multiple uses; such as law enforcement operations and business. Written by an international expert; this unique book combines theoretical analysis with practical application to present and advocate for the systematic use of SOCINT to students and practitioners in intelligence studies; intelligence communities; and national security.
