Santa Cruz, California bans predictive policing in U.S. first
Devil's Advocate: Assuming predictive policing actually worked...How much racism (or classism) is tolerable versus how much of a cut in crime?<p>Extreme case: Would we accept 1 racist interaction for 1000 cases where predictive policing solved the case?<p>Realistic case: Would we accept 1 racist interaction for 10 cases where predictive policing solved the case?<p>My point: We know about implicit and institutional racism being VERY hard to erase...can we live with a small amount of it in return for a much more effective police force?
