In the absence of pre-cognitive superbeings and Tom Cruise, how are police and policy makers supposed to allocate scarce crime-fighting resources? There is a vibrant academic literature on predicting crime, with models of various types offered as the best way of estimating future crime rates. Many of these involve mapping software, which plots the past in the hopes of extrapolating to the future. Police use some of these techniques, but most are very crude, using things like weather or the location of liquor stores as "hot spots" to estimate crime rates. Police also use experience and gut instinct. All of the various methods, whether formal models or inside the head of the commissioner of police, are deployed in haphazard and isolated ways. In this lecture, Professor Henderson presents an alternative. M. Todd Henderson is Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School.This talk was recorded May 13, 2008 as part of the Chicago's Best Ideas lecture series.

With college students paying more for gas, there is less money available for other goods. + US News: Textbook prices, which have nearly tripled in the past 20 years, may finally start to decline thanks to some new laws, technology, and upstart companies. Undergraduates who take advantage of the new alternatives could easily slash their textbook costs in half this coming academic year. That means the typical student could save more than $300. We re making progress, says Nicole Allen, who heads the affordable textbook drive for the Student Public Interest Research Groups. Things are changing for the better. + New laws, eBooks, open source, and rentals + Reason #5: piracy is easy. 31 seconds to find the book mentioned in the article on a DVD with 235 other textbooks, and no, I m not going to tell you how, but that s how easy it is + $83 on Amazon Scholarship Update + Connecticut League for Nursing Scholarships + CLN has a scholarship program for state residents enrolled in an accredited, CLN supporting member nursing education program in Connecticut.

FAP843: How to pick a student credit card, $25,000 scholarship Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + Bloomberg: 9% of companies plan to hire. Wages fall 2.4%. 28% of companies increasing prices. Tough economic times - if you re on the employment trail, there s a difficult road ahead in the short term. Read Purple Cow and Free Prize Inside, both by Seth Godin, for ideas on how you can personally weather the slump and help your respective companies turn things around. + BusinessWeek: Universities and their alumni associations have discovered an unlikely and disturbing source of revenue: Increasingly, they are selling students personal information to big credit-card companies eager for young customers. + Using state public disclosure laws, BusinessWeek has obtained more than two dozen confidential contracts between major schools and card-issuing banks keen to sign up undergraduates with mounting expenses for tuition, books, and travel. In some instances, universities and alumni groups receive larger payments from the banks if students use their school-branded cards more frequently. + Some of the country s best-known and largest schools have multimillion-dollar credit-card deals, including the Universities of Michigan, Minnesota, and South Florida. + Inside Higher Ed: New York’s governor, David A. Patterson, plans today to back the creation of a major new student loan program for the state, potentially providing hundreds of thousands of students with loans at significantly lower interest rates than they now obtain through private borrowing, The New York Times reported. The loan proposal is part of the final report of a special commission on higher education, appointed by Eliot Spitzer during his brief term as governor. The final report — also due out today — reiterates many of the themes and ideas of the commission’s first report, and calls for a major infusion of funds into higher education. It is unclear, however, how much money and political will are available for these ideas.

FAP842: Illegal downloads of textbooks, Free Stuff Friday Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + Boston Globe: Faced with soaring prices for textbooks, cash-strapped students have discovered a tempting, effective, but illicit alternative - pirated electronic books, available for free over the Internet. + It s not just textbooks that are being downloaded improperly. Ed McCoyd, director of digital policy at the Association of American Publishers in New York, said a survey in May located about 1,100 titles available illegally online, including novels and books on current events. + But textbook piracy is particularly seductive, McCoyd said, because students are often hard-pressed to pay for academic books that can cost more than $100, three times the price of most other books. + Well duh. College is more expensive than ever, the economy s in the toilet, and every other expense is through the roof. What did you expect? + The Student Loan Network does not condone infringement of intellectual property, but stay tuned in August for our cheap textbooks eBook + Inside Higher Ed: Undersecretary of Education Sara Tucker’s plan, students would find out almost immediately after submitting their much shorter federal student aid application — truncated to just 9 questions from the current 102 — exactly how much federal grant, subsidized and unsubsidized loan and tax break funds they would qualify for, based on their adjusted gross income and number of family members. (Right now students find out at that stage, usually in January or February, only how much their family is expected to contribute, which may discourage rather than encourage students to go to college, Tucker said.) The awards would be indexed based on an as-yet-undetermined formula — something like the average cost of attendance at a four-year public institution, for instance — that would essentially set a maximum amount of federal aid for which a student could qualify. + The sources of federal aid would be greatly streamlined. Federal grant aid, which now flows through about a dozen programs (and rising), would be consolidated into just the Pell Grant Program, providing an additional $1.7 billion that would increase the maximum grant by $370, Tucker said. (No Perkins Loans, no Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, no SMART Grants.) What the student loan program would look like is unclear, Tucker said, given the recent turmoil in that sphere. Work study and education tax breaks would continue to be part of aid packages, the latter particularly for upper-income students. + Still some work to be done, but that s some progress Scholarship Update + Show Us Your Art Scholarship + Submit a picture of a drawing, painting or other mixed media project of your original work for a chance to win $1,000 scholarship.

The suit was filed on behalf of plaintiff Jennifer So of California by the law firm of Kabateck Brown Kellner. + Northstar has yet to receive a copy of the complaint. But in a statement, General Counsel Mark Lindgren said: Northstar takes its obligations to its customers seriously and believes it has fully complied with the terms of its agreements. In particular, Northstar has always sought to provide its customers with the benefits from the T.H.E. Bonus but has never guaranteed that the bonus would be available under any and all market conditions. + Borrower benefits are never part of the promissory note - read it carefully + Always, always, always READ a contract before you sign it + There might be a clause in there about your first-born child, and it s legally binding Scholarship Update + Brickfish Honest Foods Ad Scholarship + Design an Honest Foods magazine ad and your layout could be the inspiration for all the company s marketing materials.

Speaking at the most recent EG conference, author, philosopher, prankster and journalist A.J. Jacobs talks about the year he spent living biblically -- following the rules in the Bible as literally as possible.

Not all wounds happen on the battlefield. Some are not even physical. But all wounds need attention. Our brave military men and women overseas and their families report, time and time again, that the stress incurred during deployment is indescribable.

Barry is the highly acclaimed director of such classic American films as DINER, AVALON, WAG THE DOG, and RAINMAN, for which he won a 1988 Academy Award for Best Director.
