OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
