Kent State Uses Geospatial Technology to Map Violence

Kent State University researchers use geospatial technology to study youth violence in Akron, Ohio.

According to the American Cancer Society, there will be an estimated 1,688,780 new cancer cases diagnosed and 600,920 cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2017.
