Project description
Predictive policing applies advanced statistical modelling of historical crime data to predict times and places with a high risk of new criminal incidents occurring. This information can then be used to proactively assign police resources and anticipate emerging crime patterns. This research wishes to provide a methodological and operational evaluation of this empirically untested method.
