Скачать или смотреть Prof. Andrew Papachristos on Using Network Science to Understand Neighborhood and Police Violence

In this presentation Prof. Andrew V. Papachristos explores how network science might help us better understand two social problems that are often positioned at odds with each other: neighborhood and police violence. Social scientists and practitioners alike have long recognized that crime and delinquency are a group phenomenon, that factors such as peer influence, social learning, and the availability of opportunities and resources influence the who, what, when, where, and how of crime. In much the same way, most officers acknowledge that much of their learning about what it means and how to be a cop is learned “on the job” through informal networks. This talk explores how mapping and analyzing social networks can help predict the victims of gun violence in U.S. cities as well as understand which police officers might engage in misconduct.

Andrew V. Papachristos is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology, Public Health, and Law (adjunct) at Yale University, the Director of The Policy Lab at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS), the Director of the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course (CIQLE), and a faculty affiliate at The Justice Collaboratory and The Yale Institute for Network Science.
