*4pm:  *Eric Cadora, Director, Justice Mapping Center, New York, NY**

**/Location: */3809 Walnut, Seminar Room/ */**

/Mr. Cadora developed the concept of "Million Dollar Blocks," which has  
received some considerable attention in the criminal justice field and 
the media. The use of geographical mapping systems (GIS) in crime 
analysis is not new, of course.  But its use in graphically displaying 
-- block-by-block -- the home addresses of imprisoned New York City 
offenders has proven to be an imaginative tool to highlight patterns of 
affected neighborhoods and the substantial costs associated with this 
incarceration ("million dollar blocks").  Eric Cadora co-founded the 
Justice Mapping Center in 2005 to create these kinds of dramatic 
graphical depictions of quantitative data in the belief that they can 
help elected officials and other policy makers better understand current 
public safety expenditures -- and lead to establishment of sounder 
crime-related public policy.  Some of this work has been undertaken in 
concert with Columbia University's Spatial Information Design Lab.  /

*4pm - 5pm: Can Atacik, World Bank Development Consultant*

Can's work in the Europe and Central Asia region has focused on Turkey,

from analytical studies to identify barriers to private sector growth 
and productivity to lending operations that support reforms for 
improving access to finance, creating business-friendly regulatory 
environments and consumer protection in financial services.  Previously, 
Can was a private sector development consultant at the World Bank 
Institute working with the Business, Competitiveness & Development 
Program, which seeks to build a deeper understanding of the role
