Introduction

SLEIPNIR is a tool developed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and used in criminal intelligence analysis to assist in the ranking and comparison of the threat of organized crime groups. SLEIPNIR is an example of a structured professional judgement (SPJ) tool similar to the SAVRY.

By using the Sleipnir tool you can determine the level of risk presented by a number of organized crime groups, compare them to each other and determine where intelligence gaps exist. (IALEIA, 2011)

Sleipnir is not designed to be used as a tactical intelligence tool, but rather as a strategic one to assist in setting priorities.

Example

From Strang (n.d.), comes this example image comparing 5 groups along the 19 items:

SLEIPNIR Subcomponents

There are 19 items in the Sleipnir tool which correspond to the threat they pose to Canadian society. In the original tool they are ranked from biggest threat to smallest threat to Canadian society (Strang, n.d.). So for instance, Corruption is considered the largest threat from organized crime, followed by Violence.

In the list below, they have been reverse coded based on the scoring system you’ll see in the next section.

19. Corruption
18. Violence
17. Infiltration
16. Expertise
15. Sophistication
14. Subversion
13. Strategy
12. Discipline
11. Insulation
10. Intelligence Use
9. Multiple Enterprises
8. Mobility
7. Stability
6. Scope
5. Monopoly
4. Group Cohesiveness
3. Continuity
2. Links to Other Organized Crime Groups
1. Links to Criminal Extremist Groups

Scoring

Each of the 19 values can be scored (RCMP, 2000) using the following:

• High = 4 x P
• Medium 2 x P
• Low = 1 x P
• Nil = 0
• Unknown = 2 x P

Where P is the number of the subcomponent in the list above. For instance, if Monopoly (#5) is High, Intelligence Use (#10) is Medium and Violence (#18) is Low, they would be scored the following:

• Monopoly = 5 x 4 = 20
• Intelligence Use = 10 x 2 = 20
• Violence = 18 x 1 = 18

The total will be 68. The maximum score is 0 to 760 and a higher score (relative to other organizations being checked) represents a higher level of dangerousness.

Subcomponent Definitions

There are specific operational criteria for each of the components and scoring levels.

As of this writing I am in the process of obtaining the report (“SLEIPNIR, the long matrix for organized crime : an analytical technique for detecting relative levels of threat posed by organized crime groups”) from the Public Safety Canada Library to determine the copyright that exists on the definitions. Once I have ascertained that it is legal to publish them here, I will do so.

I have since obtained a copy of the report. Because the definitions and ratings (of High, Medium, Low and Nil risk) are under copyright to the RCMP please contact me if you’d like information on how to access them.

Additional Research

In addition to being used in Canada by the RCMP that developed it, Sleipnir has also been used successfully in Honduras where gang violence is endemic. (Ratcliffe & Rose, 2015)

It should be noted that these factors, while ranked as above in the original Canadian research, may not be generalizable outside of Canada. This means that other countries may weigh these factors differently. (Ratcliffe, Taylor & Strang)

Скачать Sleipnir

Sleipnir is an interesting take on the standard web browser. It has been designed to surf the web with numerous tabs open simultaneously, rather than having to navigate forwards and backwards in a single, combined view.

Sleipnir has removed the the URL bar that is normally located in a browser’s main interface. There is, however, a small search box on the right-hand side of the tiny slim controls, that sits upon the main window. The design idea is very simple really; you are either navigating to already bookmarked websites, or you’re navigating via searches.

Key Features include:

• WebKit base.
• Support for HD Retina* displays.
• Additional search services support.
• WebKit and OS X security.
• Sync bookmarks with iOS devices.

In order to navigate the web, Sleipnir displays a horizontally scrolling selection of thumbnail tabs. By rolling over each tab with your cursor, you are shown the tab’s name and the option to close it. You can also drag tabs on one another, in order to group them together.

For web searching, as soon as you type in a subject, you are given results from the search engine of your choice (configurable in Preferences). By hitting tab, you can look up that same term on Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, or any site you wish.

Sleipnir For Mac Free

Sleipnir does have a few nice features tucked away, such as gesture support for tabs; to close a tab simply use an L-shaped swipe, to reopen a closed tab, use a square-esq shaped U, or you can reload a page by drawing a circle. These do require some more work, but in testing seemed to function fairly well.

Sleipnir For Mac Pro

Overall,Sleipnir is a refreshing change to the standard web browser that we are normally presented with. The search facility is really fast and the user interface is really well presented and is not hard to navigate, it just takes a little time to get used to. Where the browser does suffer slightly is with performance. In testing it was found lacking in a speed and some pages did not respond as they should. Also, if you are trying any processor intensive tasks, then Sleipnir for Mac may struggle.
