Congratulations to everyone at @NewarkNPSC on this well deserved recognition. To learn more about the great work they do, check out the #OpenAccess postprint of the chapter @alex_gis_ @JoelCaplan & Les Kennedy wrote for Brandon Welsh & my edited volume: bit.ly/ebp-ch13

“As scientists and pracademics, you need different tools around different situations. There’s other ways to deal w/ crime than arrest. This is a mentality that must change. When it comes to crime prevention, the community can play a lead role,” @alex_gis_ @RutgersSCJ. #NIJ2023

Great discussion on spatial analysis (crime mapping, hot spots, etc) & the importance of recognizing that #community live in these areas. It’s crucial to consider that #police may not always be the best response. #CommunityEngagement & a multidisciplinary approach is key.

It’s communities who are at the core of public safety. As we further develop this amazing tech for crime analysis, how can we keep them rooted in community? #NIJ2023
