Have you ever watched the television show Numbers?\u00a0 The show is premised around law enforcement officers tasked with solving crimes, and ultra-smart mathematician’s using mathematical formulas and analysis to help solve these crimes.\u00a0 While it makes for entertaining television, a group of researchers at UCLA are on course to see if they can in fact predict where crime will occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does this sound far fetched to you?\u00a0 Actually, the studying of crime patterns in law enforcement has gone on for decades.\u00a0 This makes complete sense and here’s why.\u00a0 Many criminals use the same method of operation each time they commit their “crime” of choice.\u00a0 A burglar, for instance will usually gain access to a structure the same way each time they commit a burglary.\u00a0 Whether it’s by kicking in a door, or breaking a window, they will usually do it the same way, again and again at each location they burglarize.\u00a0 A burglar will also typically take the same “type” of property, over and over.\u00a0 Whether its electronics, jewelry, guns or cash – patterns begin to develop that doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude, the same person is more than likely responsible for the similar crimes occurring in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers are taking this basic premise a step further.\u00a0 Using advanced mathematical algorithms along with gps tracking<\/a> data, they are able to do some pretty advanced computer modeling – in the hopes of predicting crime. \u00a0 \u00a0 UCLA is launching a large scale control study in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department.\u00a0 We look forward to seeing the outcome of this research.\u00a0 For More Information visit Professor Jeffrey Brantingham’s website on Predictive Policing<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
