DESCRIPTION:Law enforcement agencies across the US have discovered that pa
 rtnering with a team of mathematicians and social scientists from UCLA can
  help them determine where crime is likely to occur. Professor Bertozzi wi
 ll talk about the fascinating story behind her participation on the UCLA t
 eam 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" progra
 m allows communities to put police officers in the right place at the righ
 t time\, stopping crime before it happens.
