Predictive systems shine a spotlight on what groups commit a large percentage of crimes. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have predicted the politically incorrect results of THAT!
“Predictive systems shine a spotlight on what groups commit a large percentage of crimes.”
They did and it does. Years ago, the feds wrote or subcontracted software to identify “problem children” in public schools. Trouble was those kids identified had *already* been identified as troublemakers and had been punished for it, repeatedly.
To make matters worse, the software could be modified at the whims of the administrators, already prejudiced against those who had been offensive in the past.
Bottom line: it didn’t identify “bigoted, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, anti-abortion, radical Catholics, etc.”
