A Washington Post op-ed has brought national attention to Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) and risk-based policing, showcasing these approaches as transformative innovations in public safety.
Focus on Places, Not People
The piece emphasizes how location-based analysis is revolutionizing crime prevention by examining environmental factors that create opportunities for crime rather than focusing solely on individuals. This fundamental shift in approach allows communities to address root causes of public safety challenges.
Risk-Based Policing Featured as Solution
The Washington Post specifically highlights risk-based policing as an evidence-based strategy that enables proactive intervention. By identifying environmental risk factors, communities can prevent crime before it occurs rather than simply responding afterward.
