Jeff had developed simulation models of the geographic and temporal patterning of urban crime, and had created predictive software that he marketed to law enforcement agencies. Isn't this something the Sociology department should be running with? At the University I attended, the Anthropology department concerned itself with the study of human evolution and the study of modern primates. Is this not universal? Plus, at a university as big as UCLA you'd think they'd have a Criminology department that would work in conjunction with the Sociology department in creating such a model - ensuring it's been vetted and any unintentional biases have been scrubbed. As it is, it's being presented as "one guy" created this model, sold it to the police department, and now faces backlash. I wouldn't expect someone so tone deaf to be a professor at such a prestigious university. Maybe we don't have the full story, but as presented this is pretty bad.
