About the research

Research shows police spend only 60% of all patrol time in crime hotspots. Philipp M. Dau (UGent) uses data to analyze both police and crime hotspots. These new insights could help police departments deploy their police resources more efficiently, guide officers while being on patrol, and make our cities a safer place.
