| Abstract: | This paper presents the results of a study that tested the effect of compression and refinement, as implemented in the AVERs graph visualization software for crime analysts, on the quality of the users' analysis of a simple crime case and their understanding of this case. In this study professional crime analysts and students who used these methods outperformed users that were only allowed to use conventional methods to handle large graphs. |
