Agenda:

  • Talk 1: Developing a Standardised Approach for Local Analysis of Crime and Community Safety Indicators by Netochukwu OnyiajiThis talk focuses on creating methods for quantifying and visualising crime data to support local policy planning and intervention. The project, funded by the ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre, will help authorities address emerging crime trends and neighbourhood-specific challenges.
