A compartmental modeling approach is employed to develop a deterministic model, which will represent the dynamics of violent gang crime and gang membership. The model will be used to determine the relative effectiveness of preventive and control measures including community-based interventions, community services, police efforts, and reform programs. Further analysis of the model will quantify the minimum efforts required for gang suppression and it will determine possible dynamics of gang membership and violent gang crimes.

I'm interested in this project. What should I do next?
Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a project that aligns with your interests, be sure to
review
the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor .
The Assistant Director of Undergraduate Research,
Alicen Lundberg , can provide you with further guidance
about finding and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.
Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting with a potential faculty mentor, you can connect with the faculty member and begin a conversation about how you might contribute to this project.
