“Whether ‘predictive policing’ is good or bad depends on what it means. If it means using crime patterns to determine which neighborhoods should get more police patrols, that’s reasonable enough. But what if it means assuming that certain individuals may commit a crime if left to themselves? And then ‘preventatively’ harassing them? The Institute for Justice has just won an important victory against predictive policing as practiced by the sheriff’s office of Pasco County, Florida.” (12/18/24)
