CCJ on the move

In June Dr. Kris Henning and Sgt. Greg Stewart, Supervisor of the Crime Analysis Unit at

Portland PD and adjunct instructor at CCJ, were invited to participate in the panel "Data

and Research: Law Enforcement’s Indispensable Violence Reduction Partner" at the

National Summit on Crime Reduction and Public Safety (convened by the DOJ Task Force

on Crime Reduction and Public Safety). The panel addressed law enforcement and academic research partnerships through the

examination of several violence reduction strategies and theories. Dr. Henning and Sgt.

Stewart discussed how research provides proven violence reduction strategies and

solutions that can assist law enforcement in focusing on crime prevention and intervention

efforts, along with the identification of high-risk offenders, places, and victims. As such,

leveraging proven solutions is vital to conducting effective and efficient violence reduction

efforts.

likewise crimes do not occur uniformly across our local environments. Rather,crime events tend to concentrate in specific, and predictable locations. In thiscourse we will introduce the criminological theories that help us to understand

why crimes concentrate in the locations and at the times that they do. Byunderstanding both where, and why crimes concentrate in specific locations,we are able to introduce approaches for addressing and preventing crime.Throughout this course, we use our own routines and experiences to help

understand how environmental crime theories and approaches apply within ourown lives and environments.
