Dr. Joel Caplan works with cities and towns to prevent crime, improve community policing, and make data-informed decisions that enhance public safety. He specializes in GIS mapping and crime pattern analysis, and co-developed Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM).

His research on communities, crime and policing empowers multiple stakeholders with evidence to maximize resources and create safer and more secure environments.
