Welcome to The Advocate’s Behind the Numbers blog! Here, former city
crime analyst Jeff Asher, now an independent consultant, will use data
to analyze issues of interest to Advocate readers. The goal is to look
deeply at underlying data to see what it tells us -- in hopes of being
able to say not just what's happening, but why it's happening. We'll
begin with a focus on New Orleans crime, but we hope to expand the
scope of issues covered. Follow Jeff on Twitter @Crimealytics or shoot
him an email at asherjm@jeffasherconsulting.com.
