Early in my crime analysis days, I wondered why crime stayed in certain hotspots for DECADES. That is what the data showed me. It made no sense. Geographic patterns like this can be addressed. This post is about a resource for that:
"DICE™ focuses on why certain activities occur at particular places. It's the place-based approach to crime prevention."
"What is DICE™?
DICE™ uses Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) to diagnose crime patterns, prioritize places in need, and coordinate resources for prevention. Law enforcement is minimized, and only one part of the effort.
DICE™ empowers multiple community organizations to become co-producers of public safety. It's transparent and effective, and tailored to local problems.
Data analysis is a key component of DICE™, but so is the human element that makes analytic outputs relatable and connected to lived-experiences."

"DICE™ was first developed by Joel Caplan and Leslie Kennedy at Rutgers University and tested through the Newark Public Safety Collaborative. Replication began in Dallas, TX through the Child Poverty Action Lab."
