Two years ago, a jury acquitted Umar Zameer of all charges related to the tragic death of a police officer in Toronto. After the trial, Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy released a written ruling that contained her careful conclusion that two police witnesses had colluded and lied when testifying at the trial, while another was at least seriously mistaken in what she remembered, though perhaps innocently. The Ontario Provincial Police has now released its own review of the conduct of those officers – effectively, an attempt to retry the case at the request of Toronto Police, this time behind closed doors and without any of the safeguards of a criminal trial. The report found no evidence of wrongdoing by officers, and suggested that the evidence of two experts that was accepted at trial was wrong.

Daily Mail - Subscription at source 23/3/2026 News The dream team: combining social network analysis and expert insights to disrupt Irish criminal networks Local criminal networks recruit young people and can impact their criminal trajectories, making effective prevention an emerging policy concern. Social network analysis reveals insights and structural reasoning through depiction of networks as well as measurements to describe them. The goal is using social network analysis to provide evidence-based knowledge that informs a decision-making approach for network interventions. Our analysis examines five local crime networks in Ireland. The data was gathered through interviews with local police force from five sub-districts. We utilise network measures, including betweenness centrality, to identify recruiters of young people in networks. To account for noisy, incomplete data, we provide a tool that informs the robustness of our results and supports the decision-making for interventions. We combine the quantitative results with qualitative, expert knowledge to form a ‘dream team’, capable of identifying overall patterns at the network level but also examining individual narratives of key actors and relationships.
