Science Café Cleveland presents


 

The Mathematics of Crime

MARCH 14, 2016

 

FEATURING:

 

Dr. Andrea Bertozzi

Professor, Mathematics, Betsy Wood Knapp Chair for Innovation and Creativity, Director of Applied Mathematics, University of California Los Angeles


EVENT INFORMATION:

 

Law enforcement agencies across the country have discovered that partnering with a team of mathematicians and social scientists from UCLA can help them determine where crime is likely to occur. Dr. Bertozzi will talk about the fascinating story behind her participation on the UCLA team that developed a “predictive policing” computer program that zeros-in on areas that have the highest probability of crime. In addition, the use of mathematics in studying gang crimes and other criminal activities will also be discussed. Commercial use of the "predictive-policing" program allows communities to put police officers in the right place at the right time, stopping crime before it happens.
