Legacy of George Bugliarello
In New York, the “hot spots” have dramatically lowered crime

bugliarellosymposium
Crime has significantly and continuously fallen in the
“hot spots” of New York City identified by a research
and study conducted by Dr. Victor Goldmisth, Associate Provost for Sponsored Research and Economic
Development at Pace University.
His research shows how state-of-the-art geographic
information systems (GIS), used to display patterns of
crime to stimulate effective strategies and decisionmaking, are revolutionizing urban law enforcement.
“Thanks to CompStat, a statistical tool, police officials
have been able to access data previously store in
many police stations in the city and have been able to
react quickly.”
October 26, 2012 - 8:00am - 5:00pm.
Bern Dibner Library of Science and Technology, Pfizer Auditorium, Poly, Brooklyn,
NY
Dr. Goldsmith is a crime mapping specialist who is also a
co-author of “Analyzing Crime Patterns: Frontiers of Practice” (Sage Publications, Inc. , November 18, 1999)
The symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of engineers, civic
leaders, educators and futurists in a
unique forum that will offer an open
discussion of how George Bugliarello’s
vision manifests itself in innovative urban planning for the cities of tomorrow.
Discussions will examine the critical role
engineers play in the social and economic development of cities and their
ever-increasing importance in the area
of policymaking.
