RTM, Predicting Child Abuse highlighted on Marketplace
April 2016 | Dyann Daley, who runs Cook Children's Center for Prevention of Child Maltreatment, and her team are using Risk Terrain Modeling to forecast likely locations of child abuse in Fort Worth. "Amazingly, we were able to capture 98 percent of the cases that occurred in the future," Daley said. Their intention is to use this predictive modeling to target resources, not people. "Knowing where the risk clusters are provides an opportunity to align prevention services in the areas that need it most." | Listen to the Marketplace radio broadcast | A similar story aired on Newsworks The Pulse
