LAPD is testing a program in several of their divisions that predicts where crime may likely to occur. Headed by Predictive Policing company known as PredPol (a team of mathmaticians & social scientists)
LAPD reports a 13% crime down during the 4 months it was rolled out compared to an increase 0.4% in the rest of the city where the rollout had not happened. But, its still not 100 percent effective.
So a big concern is who's paying for this experiment and what rights will be violated in the future to seek deeper information so law enforcement can predict.
Let me guess.....where there are the biggest numbers of drug dealers and/or gang members! What do I win?
Profiling by computer!
THAT’S RACISS
But, that’s profiling! /s
Really?
Is that like mathmagicians?
A high concentration of Late night Hoodie wearing skittles and watermelon drink carriers.

Don't axe me.

That is amazing.
You take a bunch of officers out of the rest of the city and concentrate them in an area this group says and crime goes down in the area of concentration and up in the rest... Who could have saw that coming................

They probably bought the PC program used by property insurance companies to ID Red Lined areas. Simple matter of just getting the most recent census and looking for certain concentrations.
Exactly profiling by computers!
I am just guessing here, but I suspect that stepped up patrols in africanmerican hoods er neighborhoods probably helped.
One might look in the high crime areas.
