This Project Grant award of $170,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the linkages between society and the quantification of the criminal justice system. The goal is to advance understanding of how policing models and practices inform new approaches to crime control, which will benefit social scientists and policymakers interested in the intersection of quantified crime control and social inequality. The research employs a multi-method design to examine how communities perceive and negotiate predictive policing. This project aims to make both empirical and theoretical contributions by addressing key gaps in the predictive policing literature. The award period is from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2026 and is being provided to an early career scientist under the sponsorship of Dr. Robert Vargas at the University of Chicago. No subawards are planned for this grant.
