Study shows allocation of police resources affects economic welfare, inequality

By IDS staff · Sunday, July 17,2016 6:42 p.m.

IDecisions about how to allocate police resources in a community are likely to influence not only crime but also housing prices, overall economic welfare and social inequality, according to a new study by economists at Indiana University and the University of Maryland, according to an IU press release. The study, “Stirring up a hornets' nest: Geographic distribution of crime,” develops a model for examining the behavior of socioeconomic groups in response to two possible strategies: one in which police are concentrated in certain areas and another in which they are dispersed equally across the city, according to a press release. The researchers conclude that equal dispersal of police will lead to a city that is economically integrated, with housing prices comparable from one neighborhood to the next.

IU research points toward new blindness prevention methods in diabetic eye disease, according to an IU press release.

By IDS staff · Sunday, July 17,2016 6:42 p.m.

By combining data on optometry patients' eyes with advanced computational methods, Indiana University researchers have created a virtual tissue model of diabetes in the eye, according to a press release. The results, reported in the journal PLOS Computational Biology, show precisely how a small protein that can both damage or grow blood vessels in the eye causes vision loss and blindness in people with diabetes.
