The Cost of Failing to Deport Alien Criminals: Hundreds of Illegal immigrants are incarcerated for crimes each year, and those who are not deported to their home countries pose a serious threat to public safety. Alfonso Chardy of the Miami Herald reports that findings by the Senate Judiciary Committee indicate that at least 121 killings within a four-year span were carried out by convicted immigrants who were not deported. In addition, of the 36,007 criminal aliens that were released by ICE in 2013, 1,000 of them were re-convicted for additional crimes within a short time. In 2014, ICE released 2,457 immigrants who were convicted of crimes and not deported. .
NYPD to Further Curb Proactive Policing: The New York Police Department agreed Thursday to further cut back the use of stop-and-frisk although its use resulted in the recent apprehension of a murder suspect. Cody Derespina at Fox News reports "The discovery of 30-year-old Karina Vetrano's body in a Queens park in August made national headlines but authorities had very little information identifying her killer. But The New York Daily News reported it was a review of stop-and-frisk reports from the area near the crime scene that helped cops zero in on 20-year-old Chanel Lewis - who was arrested Saturday and charged with second-degree murder." The tactic, correctly termed, stop-question and-frisk, was instituted in the early 1990s by Mayor Rudy Giuliani. It has been cited for contributing to one of the most significant decreases in crime in the history of New York.
The Science of Murder Clearance Rates: An article by Robert Lolker in BloombergBusinessweek available at this link, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-02-08/serial-killers-should-fear-this-algorithm, examines the work of retired reporter and statistics expert Thomas Hargrove, who has developed an algorithm to help solve serial murderers. Actually Hargrove has done more than this....he has created a homicide database far more accurate and complete than the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, and made it available at his website. His algorithm utilizes the data to identify homicide patterns using geography, sex, age group and method of killing, sometimes finding links to murders which police can investigate.
