Predictive Policing: The Future of Law Enforcement. Law Enforcement Explores Ways to Anticipate and Prevent Crime. NIJ Journal/Issue No. 266

摘要

Police can use a data analysis to help make their work more efficient. The idea is being called 'predictive policing,' and some in the field believe it has the potential to transform law enforcement by enabling police to anticipate and prevent crime instead of simply responding to it. Predictive policing is taking data from disparate sources, analyzing them and then using results to anticipate, prevent and respond more effectively to future crime. In November 2009, the National Institute of Justice, in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Los Angeles Police Department, held a Predictive Policing Symposium to discuss this emerging idea and its impact on the future of policing. Researchers, law enforcement officers, crime analysts and scientists gathered in Los Angeles for three days to explore the policy implications, privacy issues and technology of predictive policing.
