Division of Communities and Place – Panel List
Data-Informed Community Engagement | Wed, Nov 17, 5:00 to 6:20pm, Salon 12, 3rd Floor
Abstract/Description: This panel seeks to explore data-informed community engagement options. To address public safety issues is a common goal shared by multiple community stakeholders across constituencies. Today’s community policing models tend to rely excessively on law enforcement agencies while missing the opportunity to engage community-based organizations operating in these communities. This process requires access to problem-solving techniques that can assist community organizations and other local stakeholders in coordinating their efforts in ways that promote public safety.

Engaging with the Public in Communities, Place, and Crime Research | Special Panel – (Organized by the Division of Communities, Place, and Crime) | Fri, Nov 19, 9:30 to 10:50am, Chicago Room, 5th Floor
Abstract/Description: This discussion panel will feature influential voices from communities and place research discussing their thoughts, experiences, and advice on engaging with the public. Topics will include developing and managing relationships with agencies and community stakeholders, building trust with community members, disseminating our work to the public and policy makers, and correcting public misconceptions and myths about communities, place, and crime. Panelists will discuss specific ways in which we can translate research on neighborhoods, place, and crime to produce on-the-ground benefits for communities and community members. Scholars featured in this panel have spearheaded community partnerships, initiated community-based prevention and intervention programming, used place-based research collaboratively with law enforcement to inform policing strategies, and worked on highly politicized topics, such as immigration and crime.

The Macro and Micro Determinants of Accidental Overdose Deaths | Fri, Nov 19, 9:30 to 10:50am, Crystal Room, 3rd Floor
Abstract/Description: In the early decades of the 21st century, the United States found itself in an epidemic of drug overdose deaths claiming more than 700,000 lives. In response to this crisis, research exploring patterns and predictors of overdose deaths has expanded rapidly. There is a paucity of research, however, on the macro-level determinants of death contributing to drug overdoses in the community. The presentations on this panel examine macro-level sources of drug overdose death rates from 1999-2016, the ecology of overdose mortality in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the influence of drug trafficking gangs on overdose deaths—also situated in Philadelphia—and the degree to which Good Samaritan laws with protections are associated with overdose incidents from 2013 to 2018.
