What does と見て mean in this context?


I was trying to translate some phrases from an anime and と見て appeared, which I
have no idea what it is. It all happened while the protagonist was watching
the news.

> 本日未明桜見町の路地裏で

> 刃物で刺された女性の遺体が見つかりました

> 桜見警察では犯行の手口から

> 桜見町を中心とした一連の通り魔による犯行と見て

> 調査本部を設け調査に乗り出す方針です




The phrase "と見て" in Japanese is used to indicate a judgment or assessment of a
situation. It's similar to the English expressions "to view as" or "to regard
as." In the context of your translation, it seems to be used in a news report
or a similar formal context.

Let's break down the specific sentence:

桜見警察では犯行の手口から 桜見町を中心とした一連の通り魔による犯行と見て 調査本部を設け調査に乗り出す方針です Translated, this
would be:

"Based on the method of the crime, the Sakurami Police Department" "considers
it to be an act committed by the same serial perpetrator who has been
targeting Sakurami Town," "and plans to set up an investigative headquarters
to start a thorough investigation." So, "と見て" in this context is used to
express the police department's assessment or view that the crime is linked to
a series of similar incidents in the area. It's a formal way of stating an
opinion or judgment, often used in official statements or reports.
