On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Agents decide whether to commit crimes based on their heterogeneous returns to crime, or their types. Police have some information about these types and allocate search capacity across the agents to uncover crimes. The police that have full information about types fail to deter any crime, because the ability to predict crimes erodes the deterrent effect of policing. The information structure that minimizes a crime rate is only partially informative and never allows the police to identify who will commit crimes, but it may reveal some of the agents who will not commit crimes.
