I heard a Reply All episode about the use of CompStat in NYC, which is just a manual algorithm for predictive policing. It started as a useful tool to prevent crime, but devolved into racial profiling as officers began to downgrade crimes in their reports to make their numbers look better, until eventually it resulted in racial profiling and arresting people on false charges. |
