This out of my expertise but found it interesting. So I wonder if folks in the know have an opinion. The idea is to use mathematical models to predict crime.
From the article, there are two factors:
1. The political aspect of the academics commenting on the usage. Not that really interested in that. Academic societies are becoming arbiters of members' social aspects and research nowadays. That has problems.
2. Does the methodology work? Anyone with experience? That's interesting.
