The document summarizes a webinar presentation by representatives from the City of Vista and San Diego County Sheriff's Department on their Weed & Seed initiative. The initiative aims to reduce juvenile crime and recidivism through a strategic plan using data-driven approaches. The presentation provides data on juvenile offenders, crimes, gang activity, and at-risk areas in Vista to identify target groups for prevention and intervention programs. Partners will continue to refine their strategic plan and goals using ongoing data analysis.

A stastistical analysis of homicide incidents in US (1980 to 2014)Arafath Hossain
What is the trend of gun-related homicide in the US history? Do issues like ethnicity play any role?
What do the places with good records do differently than the places with bad records? This report was an attempt to find answers to such questions.
Statistical techniques that were used in the report were correlation analysis, chi-square test, and logistic regression.
Software used for analysis was R.
Some of the interesting findings are:
- The highest number of homicides take place in July and August compared to other months
- Rifle is more common firearm among Native Americans/Alaska Natives compared to other ethnicities
- Intra-race homicide (e.g. whites murdered by whites) is way more common than inter-race ones (e.g. blacks murdered by whites)
- Though inter-race homicide is more common between whites and Native Americans (close to 40% of the homicides in native Americans were done by white)
- The highest number of murderers are acquaintances not strangers!
- Unlike common notion, places with less homicide are not the places with the strictest gun laws.
- Rather intuitively enough they are better at solving cases (they have a better ratio of solving case compared to the places with bad records).

Scared Straight Program – 1978 Rahway Max Prison
-Politically motivated –fit the get tough on crime bill
-Three year post experiment study shows evidence must be evidence based
-Criminologists embrace a systematic empirical study of the nature and extent of crime.
Example of successful criminology research based policy:
-Domestic violence research between 1981-82 shows police counseling and temporary separation was
not effective.
-Now there are more mandatory arrest being made.
7 Basic Requirements for an Act to be a Crime
Defense must prove failure of a basic requirement
• 1. The act requirement – mind & Body
• Conscious act not an unconscious act or reaction
• Not a status or condition
• 2. The legality requirement – prohibited by law
• Thoughts without action – no crime
• Choosing to not fill out sex registration forms – is a crime
• Good Samaritan?
• 3. The harm requirement
• 4. The causation requirement
• Behavior in question caused the harm – not a 3rd party
• 5. The mens rea requirement (guilty mind)
• 6. The concurrence requirement
• Must be a criminal act with criminal intent (Ex: striker – rock –window)
• Exceptions – felony murder
• 7. The punishment requirement – its must already exist

Criminal defense negates basic ingredients of
crime.
• Crime – must be known to the police
• Not all crimes reported are cleared
• DA will not always prosecute
• Defense negation of crime elements examples:
• Insanity defense; legality requirement lacking; duress, self-defense.
• State tries cases on behalf of the state
• Victims can file civil law suits for pain and suffering
Typologies of Crime
• The French created the following three categories accepted
worldwide
• Felonies - severe
• Misdemeanors – minor
• Violation - fines
• As Criminologist we will also focus on the following
• Violent crime
• Crimes against property
• White collar and corporate crime
• Drug, alcohol and sex-related crime

Reasons for Measuring Crime
• Researchers collect and analyze data to test theories about why
people commit crime.
• Researchers and criminal justice agencies need to enhance their
knowledge of the characteristics of various types of offenses.
• Criminal justice agencies depend on certain information to facilitate
daily operations and anticipate future needs.
The Research Process
• Topic – research question
• Theory: is a set of principles that explain how 2 or more phenomena
are related
• May choose to use a hypothesis or not.
• Methodology (qualitative vs. quantitative)
• Will you use secondary data or primary data
• Analysis
• What did you do, findings, discussions and conclusions

The Importance of Indeterminate and Unknown Factors in Nourishing Crime: A Ca...MOHDSAIFWAJID1
There is no doubt regarding the notion that crime is deteriorating the socio-economic
structure of society. Crime poses a serious threat to human values and existence. Therefore this
menace should be stopped as early as possible otherwise it would lead to unavoidable
circumstances. Whenever policies are formed there are some certain factors that are always taken
into consideration to stop the crime. These measures were effective but with the passage of time
there seems to be a constant situation and crime seems to be at its peak. This situation has forced us
to think that there may be other factors that are leading to criminal behaviour in humans. These
factors may be uncertain, unknown or indeterminate. Though previous researches in this regard
have taken into consideration all the known factors, the present work takes into account both known
and unknown factors together with the relationship among them. Taking into account all the factors
which nourish crime either directly or indirectly, here we try to model the situation mathematically
using Neutrosophic Cognitive Map since it provides us with a methodology of representing known
and unknown factors together. The work is carried out using graphical methods and concepts
together with linear algebra. The present work takes into account the crimes which are occurring in
South Africa and models this situation taking into considerations all the certain and uncertain
factors. The study reveals that relative poverty & inadequate housing, limited social and cognitive
abilities, exclusion from school, family violence, culture conflict, colonialism, unemployment,
income inequality, violent expressions of masculinity and use of violence to ‘resolve’ are directly
related to crime in the country. The other factors such as Adherence to social norms, the multi-racial
character of the society, Racial discrimination, apartheid policy, political transition, restructuring of
the criminal justice system, gathering of people, intimate partner violence & femicide and use of
‘tik’ (crystal meth/ methamphetamine) which were not supposed to have a direct influence on crime
in the country by previous researches are also having a significant effect on crime. The present work
contributes effectively in identifying the factors leading to criminal behaviour among people. This
would in turn help policymakers to take necessary steps at ground level to curb the crime in the
country. The work also shows the modelling of the situation using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps just to
represent the effectiveness of Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps over them.

Speaking at the 2015 CCIH Annual Conference, Susan Hillis, PhD, MS, Senior Global Health Advisor, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control explains research to discover the magnitude and the effects of violence against children on a global scale.
Sexual assault cases regularly make headlines and can potentially cause serious reputational harm to law enforcement agencies and police departments for mishandling the cases or not pursuing them vigorously enough.
