Title: Towards Understanding the Impact of Human Mobility on Police Allocation,
Abstract: Motivated by recent findings that human mobility is proxy for crime behavior
in big cities and that there is a superlinear relationship between the people's
movement and crime, this article aims to evaluate the impact of how these
findings influence police allocation. More precisely, we shed light on the
differences between an allocation strategy, in which the resources are
distributed by clusters of floating population, and conventional allocation
strategies, in which the police resources are distributed by an Administrative
Area (typically based on resident population). We observed a substantial
difference in the distributions of police resources allocated following these
strategies, what evidences the imprecision of conventional police allocation
methods.
