Students use technology to organize the information they gather.

We use Analyst's Notebook, software provided through an in-kind donation from i2 Inc., based in Reston, Va., to conduct social network analysis. Visual mapping of the investigation helps us to identify relationships between individuals. The software is widely used by investigators and analysts in forensic science and criminal justice. We ground our next generation of investigative reporters in technology tools that supplement old school gumshoe reporting.
