Deadly Links: What Network Science Tells Us About Neighborhood and Police Violence
The lecture will be delivered by Dr. Andrew Papachristos, Professor of Sociology and the Director of the Northwestern Neighborhood & Network Initiative at Northwestern University.
Presentation Abstract
It’s a cliché to say “we live in a connected world.” But we do. Over the last twenty years, the field of network science has consistently demonstrated that the ways in which people are connected affect what we feel, think, and do.

This presentation explores how network science might help us better understand patterns of neighborhood and police violence in American cities as well as potentially ways to reduce associated injuries and harm.
