3/3 Further research could explore alternative area boundaries (e.g., hexagonal tessellations) and incorporate more nuanced mobility features, such as mobility flows, to improve precision.

2/3 🔑 Key findings:
• ConvLSTM outperforms traditional baselines
• Achieves high recall (few false negatives), but low precision (many false positives)
• Violent crimes benefit from longer look-back periods, property crimes from shorter ones
• Adding mobility features improves predictive performance

1/3 Together with @mtizzoni.bsky.social & @gcampedelli.bsky.social , we built a deep learning framework using ConvLSTMs that combines historical crime data, fine-grained human mobility data, and sociodemographic data to forecast crime 12h ahead at very small spatial scales across four U.S. cities.
