Abstract
In the field of criminology, improving efficiency can mean saving real human lives. However, there still exist many ineffective operations in the field. Aiming to answer operations questions in criminology in a more rigorously quantitative way, we analyze three problems in criminology using data-driven model-based methods: one about improving operations for ballistics imaging and identification, one about how to deal with the backlog of untested sexual assault kits in the U.S. and another for understanding the effect of changes in judicial rotation policies.
