DESCRIPTION:Less than five percent of the land in any city att
 racts well over half of all serious crimes. Since 
 we first discovered this pattern in Minneapolis in
  1987\, it has been replicated on five continents 
 in uncounted cities\, and is now mapped daily by a
  wide range of commercial software. It has led to 
 substantial changes in police and crime prevention
  strategies\, and may have contributed to a cross-
 national drop in crime over the past two decades. 
 But many questions remain about whether targeting 
 hot spots merely displaces it to other locations\,
  or whether recent crime patterns are better predi
 ctors than multi-year patterns. Darwin PhD student
  Cristobal Weinborn will report his analyses of 12
  years of hot spots data from nearby Peterborough.
  Darwin Fellow Lawrence Sherman will review the ef
 fects of experiments targeting hot spots in the US
 \, UK and the Caribbean. Warning: this seminar may
  make you less afraid of crime--as long as you sta
 y out of hot spots.
