[cmath] PIMS Hot Topics Workshop on Computational Criminology

[Alejandro Adem]

**Opportunity for Canadian Graduate Students and Postdocs**

PIMS Hot Topics Workshop on Computational Criminology

September 19-21

Simon Fraser University (IRMACS)

Organizers:
A.Adem (UBC), A.Bertozzi (UCLA), P.Brantingham (SFU)
R.Manasevich (U.Chile), M.Short (UCLA)

Description:

The goal of this workshop is to bring together mathematicians with an
interest in working on crime modeling and analysis with researchers
directly connected with real-world problems. This is a workshop based on
computational criminology, an emerging field that takes the growing need
for improved ways to use mathematics and computational techniques in
understanding crime patterns and in developing methods for predicting and
forecasting crime. The workshop will have mathematicians and a group of
PhD students and Post-Docs interested in the field as the core group with
a small number of theoretical criminologists working in the field. It will
include presentations by mathematicians, special activities designed for
the PhD students/Postdocs as well think-tank sessions for the
mathematicians and criminologists. The location of ICURS (Institute for
Canadian Urban Research Studies) on the SFU campus with their expertise
and database on urban criminology is an additional attractive feature of
this event.
