David Weisburd

David Weisburd is a renowned criminologist who studies crime patterns and how to reduce criminal behavior. He explores how different areas, such as neighborhoods or streets, experience varying levels of crime and what factors influence these differences. Weisburd’s research often focuses on “hot spots,” or small areas with concentrated crime, and how targeted policing or community strategies can make those areas safer. His work helps law enforcement and policymakers develop more effective, data-driven approaches to crime prevention, ultimately aiming to improve public safety and quality of life.
