The St. Louis, Missouri Circuit Attorney’s Office, as part of the St. Louis Public Safety Partnership site, requested technical training and assistance with Social Networking Analysis (SNA) via the open-source software, Pajek. BJA is currently considering this request.
St. Louis City has a high violence rate. The St. Louis City Circuit Attorney’s Office has been taking steps to address this and will continue to do so. Research suggests the majority of crime can be traced to relatively few individuals. We hope to use social networking analysis to pinpoint who our continual “career” offenders are and who they associate with. This will assist in locating our high crime social networks. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of violent social groups in St. Louis may provide valuable information on situations such as retaliatory violence.
