Traditional near-repeat analysis focuses on the spatial spread of crimes to adjacent areas, with little regard to the displacement effect. Crime dis...

Surprisingly, the problem of spatial police patrol allocation to optimize expected crime response time has not been systematically addressed in prior research. We develop a bi-level optimization framework to address this problem. Our framework includes novel linear pro...
