It’s not actually suspicious or criminal, it’s a portfolio site done in the style of a suspect map in a criminal investigation (or at least, a cinematic portrayal of a crime investigation. The reality is probably more electronic, but that doesn't make for great TV or portfolio sites)

I suspect comment is tongue-in-cheek. It adopts the same tone as the website.

> The reality is probably more electronic I've done investigations with law enforcement before, and you're right, it is more electronic, but basically it's the same as what you see in the movies just on a screen (so it's searchable). But the software basically has you build clusters of people with evidentiary links. But it was developed to mimic the old bulletin boards, which looked like what you see in the movies. And also the software is really expensive, so "hobbyist" investigators still do use the bulletin boards and yarn, because the electronic version is too pricy.

  Does this software category have a name? Or do you have the names of specific software that is popular, but expensive? I am curious how it looks and works

    I'm not sure on the category, maybe law enforcement case management? I can't remember the name of the software I used (it was 20 years ago) but here is an example of one: https://www.kaseware.com/government/law-enforcement/ https://www.kaseware.com/government/law-enforcement/

    A very famous and widespread piece of software for law enforcement cases is called I2 Analyst's Notebook, which lets you create/edit/search/visualize case notebooks [1]. Thomson Reuters has Case Notebook, which is more for lawyers [2]. [1] https://docs.i2group.com/anb/9.4.1/analysts_notebook_welcome.html https://docs.i2group.com/anb/9.4.1/analysts_notebook_welcome...
