Title: Three Operations Management Problems in Criminology

Abstract: We consider three operations management problems in criminology: using pretrial release and split sentencing to minimize crime subject to a constraint on jail overcrowding, and using technology (ballistic imaging and DNA matching, respectively) to maximize violent (gun and sexual assault, respectively) crime solving subject to a capacity constraint. We use data from Los Angeles County (jails), Stockton CA (ballistic imaging) and Detroit (sexual assault kits) to guide the development of new operations management models to address these problems.
