Data that criminal intelligence analysts have to analyze have become much larger and more complex in recent decades. However, the environment and methods of investigation have not yet kept up with those changes. In this study, we examined current investigation practices in Korean Government Agency. We focused on the sensemaking process of investigation and tried to adopt visual analytics approaches for sensemaking into the investigation. We derived tasks and design requirements and designed a multi-view visual analytics system that could satisfy them. We validated our design with a high-fidelity prototype through a case study to show realistic use cases.
