The NPSC was formed in 2018 as part of the Rutgers-Newark, School of Criminal Justice Anchor Initiative.
Through a direct partnership with the Newark Mayor's Office, other city
officials, and community stakeholders, the NPSC builds on successes of
past violence reduction initiatives with a greater focus on (1)
place-based predictive analytics and (2) data-driven community
engagement for crime prevention and public safety in (3) transparent,
civilly just and sustainable ways. NPSC brings together data analysts,
social workers, policymakers and practitioners to contextualize "big
data" and make decisions for actions in a coordinated fashion. The NPSC
maximizes local resources and expertise to solve problems and improve
the impact of public safety work already underway in Newark.
