He joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Dallas in the Fall of 2016. Prior to UT-Dallas, Dr. Maskály worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the De- partment of Criminology, Law, and Justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago for two years. Dr. Maskály has an active research agenda which revolves around the police, the community, and the relationship between the two. Of particular interest to him is how the behaviors of police officers work to erode the community’s perception of trust and legitimacy in the police. He is interested in examining the characteristics associated with community crime rates. Dr. Maskály is also interested in improving the measurement of key criminological constructs using modern psychometric techniques. His work has recently appeared in The Journal of Social Psychology, Social Science Research, Crime & Delinquency, and Policing: An Interna- tional Journal. As Dr. Maskály continues to develop his research group at UT-Dallas, he will now begin working with graduate student collaborators. Since arriving at UT-Dallas, Dr. Maskály has been appointed as the Chair of the Research Committee for the Dallas County Criminal Justice Advisory Board. Additionally, he was elected as the Treasurer for Southwestern Association of Criminal Justice. Dr. Maskály still holds a courtesy appointment at UIC and works closely with staff and students in both the Interdisciplinary Center for Research on Violence and the Center for Research in Law & Justice. Prior to attending graduate school, Dr. Maskály worked for a small police agency in Western Nevada for more than three years. Dr. Maskály has taught numerous courses in criminology and criminal justice at the undergraduate level in- cluding introduction to criminal justice, criminological theory, research methods, statistics, criminal proce- dure, police and society, and crime prevention. At the graduate level he has taught courses in criminal jus- tice administration, communities and crime, introductory statistics, advanced quantitative methods, and re- search design. “Only when you know the question, will you know what the answer means” ~ Deep Thought, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy ~ Page 3 The University of Texas at Dallas Faculty Spotlight Andrew P. Wheeler earned his Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from the State Univer- sity of New York (SUNY) at Albany in 2015 and joined the faculty at the Uni- versity of Texas at Dallas in the fall of 2016. His research focuses on the spatial analysis of crime at micro places and practical problems faced by crime ana- lysts. His recent work has been published in the Journal of Quantitative Crimi- nology, Cartography and Geographic Information Sciences, the International Journal of Police Science and Management, and the Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling. Much of Dr. Wheeler's research has been in collaboration with various police departments in New York. Example projects with the Albany, NY police department include predicting when and where traffic and pedestrian stops are more likely to result in arrest and contraband recovery, identifying long terms hot spots of crime, and predicting which offenders known to the police are more like- ly to be involved with future gun violence. Example projects with the Syracuse, NY police department are analyzing traffic stops for racial bias and evaluating the effects of a gang intervention meant to reduce gun violence. He has also analyzed hot spots policing interventions by the Buffalo, NY police department, and has been involved with several projects concerning stop, question and frisk with the New York City police department. He hopes to be able to continue similar work by collaborating with local police departments in the Dallas area. He also has published work that was motivated from when he worked as a crime analyst for several years. This includes how to tell if a series of crime are occurring at random days of the week or are clustered on certain days, which is useful for targeted interventions to catch repeat offenders. He has also published pa- pers on effective ways to visualize geographic journey to crime data and monitor temporal trends -- both regular tasks for crime analysts. He often gives technical computing advice and data visualization tips (along with notes on other topics) on his blog, https://andrewpwheeler.wordpress.com/. Dr. Wheeler has previously taught courses on GIS to both undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice programs. He taught Seminar in Criminology Research and Analysis (CRIM 7301) in the fall of 2016, and is teaching Communities and Crime (CRIM 4323) in spring 2017 here at UT Dallas.

    Viant Kicks off National Back-to-School Drive for Under-Resourced Students August 26, 2021 Charitable Partners Awarded Backpacks Filled with Essential Supplies IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 2021-- As educators and families continue to contend with pandemic uncertainties, Viant Technology Inc.
