L.A .COEFFICENT - Fighting Crime With Math

The video discusses the challenges of urban policing, focusing on crime hotspots. It introduces a mathematical model developed by researchers to understand crime patterns, identifying two types of hotspots: supercritical and subcritical. The model helps tailor policing strategies to effectively reduce crime. The research highlights the importance of understanding crime dynamics for better prediction and prevention strategies, aiming for safer urban environments.
