Analyst Talk - Jeff Asher - The Crime Index Analyst
Monday Dec 08, 2025
Monday Dec 08, 2025
Episode: 00296 Released on December 8, 2025 Description: Jeff Asher joins Analyst Talk with Jason Elder to unpack what crime trends really tell us and why the public so often gets the story wrong. He shares his journey from CIA analyst to New Orleans crime analyst and consultant, and explains how learning to write clearly and communicate with decision makers shaped his entire career. Jason and Jeff dig into focused deterrence in New Orleans, the response time crisis that left serious victims waiting hours for help, and the data driven changes that followed. They explore how crime trends are framed in the media, why short lived spikes can dominate headlines while long declines are ignored, and what it takes to talk about crime in a way that is honest, specific, and grounded in evidence. Jeff also breaks down the real time crime index, a national level look at crime that helps explain what is happening across the country much faster than traditional reporting. He shares insights from his own show, Jeff-alytics, where he continues conversations about data, crime trends, and the gap between perception and reality. The episode closes with practical advice for analysts on writing, presenting, and getting leadership to actually use their work.

Analyst Talk - Research Remix - Spatial Insights for Officer Safety
Monday Nov 17, 2025
Monday Nov 17, 2025
Episode: 00293 Released on November 17, 2025 Description: In the fifth installment of Research Remix, Jason Elder and Jamie Roush unpack a 2014 study by Joel Kaplan, Philip Marotta, Eric Piza, and Leslie Kennedy examining whether the physical landscape contributes to felonious assaults and batteries against police officers. Using Chicago Police Department data, the researchers identified how risky facilities such as foreclosures, problem buildings, bars, schools, liquor stores, gang territories, and apartment complexes combine with environmental features like alleyways, poor lighting, and crowd density to elevate officer danger. Jamie explains why these spatial elements matter, how analysts can integrate non-traditional spatial data into proactive officer-safety work, and how dispatchers and CAD systems can benefit from enhanced risk-flagging. The conversation also highlights opportunities for analysts to expand their GIS layers, develop yearly governance on spatial data sources, and build prioritization models that identify the highest-risk locations and times of day. This episode is a practical roadmap for analysts aiming to support officer safety through environmental awareness, spatial modeling, and data-driven risk mitigation. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking! [Note: Description produced by ChatGPT.]Get to know more about Jamie, Joel, and Eric by listening to their previous episodes: https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/atwje-jamie-roush-the-aha-moment-analyst/ Dr. Joel Caplan: https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/acia-risk-terrain-modelling-dr-joel-caplan-teaches-us-everything-we-need-to-know/ Dr. Eric Piza: https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/atwje-eric-piza-the-researcher-at-heart-analyst/ Name Drops:Related Links: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1193&context=jj_pubs https://www.cpted.net/ https://popcenter.asu.edu/content/understanding-risky-facilities https://www.simplypsychology.org/routine-activities-theory.html Association(s) Mentioned: Vendor(s) Mentioned: Contact: jamielroush@gmail.com,  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-roush-5b399967/ epjets@stockton.edu Transcript: https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/x292indjf8a3t6mm/RR04_transcript.pdf Podcast Writer: Podcast Researcher: Theme Song: Written and Recorded by The Rough & Tumble.
