Toby Davies is an Associate Professor in Criminal Justice Data Analytics at the University of Leeds, School of Law. His work focuses on quantitative criminology, spatial analysis, and computational methods to inform crime prevention. He holds a Mathematics degree from the University of Oxford (2008) and a PhD from University College London (UCL), followed by postdoctoral research on the EPSRC-funded Crime, Policing and Citizenship project. Before joining Leeds in 2023, he was at UCL’s Department of Security & Crime Science. His research spans interdisciplinary topics including urban form and crime, crime modeling, social networks, and cybercrime. He has collaborated with police agencies (West Yorkshire, Thames Valley, West Midlands Police) and governmental bodies (UK Home Office, London Mayor’s Office). A strong advocate for Open Science, he co-founded JDI Open to promote open practices in crime science. His recent work emphasizes policy interventions like phasing out pointed kitchen knives to reduce knife crime, leveraging data-driven approaches. He publishes widely in criminology, physics, network science, and general science journals, and has guest-edited special issues. His applied research aims to bridge theory and practice, developing tools deployed operationally in policing. Current interests include financial crime dynamics, social contagion of crime, and street network configurations’ impact on crime patterns.
