Policing Crime

چکیده
Between 1985 and 1991 the homicide rate in the United 'States increased by nearly 25 percent, from 7.9 to 9.8 per 100,000 residents. Almost all of this increase was accounted for by additional gun homicides committed against and by young males. Although the homicide rate has declined substantially during the 1990s, homicide in the United States is still dominated by young people and firearms and remains much more frequent than in other developed nations. Policymakers who are concerned about America's problem with lethal violence must ask: how can we prevent young men from shooting one another? One increasingly popular answer is to increase the risks of carrying guns illegally through stepped-up police enforcement. Under these "directed patrol"

Financial crime is a rampant but hidden threat. In spite of this, predictive policing systems disproportionately target “street crime” rather than white collar crime.

متن کاملRunaway Feedback Loops in Predictive Policing
Predictive policing systems are increasingly used to determine how to allocate police across a city in order to best prevent crime. Observed crime data (arrest counts) are used to update the model, and the process is repeated. Such systems have been shown susceptible to runaway feedback loops, where police are repeatedly sent back to the same neighborhoods regardless of the true crime rate. In ...
