This edited text draws together the insights of numerous worldwide
eminent academics to evaluate the condition of predictive policing
and artificial intelligence (AI) as interlocked policy areas.
Predictive and AI technologies are growing in prominence and at an
unprecedented rate. Powerful digital crime mapping tools are being
used to identify crime hotspots in real-time, as pattern-matching
and search algorithms are sorting through huge police databases
populated by growing volumes of data in an eff ort to identify
people liable to experience (or commit) crime, places likely to
host it, and variables associated with its solvability. Facial and
vehicle recognition cameras are locating criminals as they move,
while police services develop strategies informed by machine
learning and other kinds of predictive analytics. Many of these
innovations are features of modern policing in the UK, the US and
Australia, among other jurisdictions. AI promises to reduce
unnecessary labour, speed up various forms of police work,
encourage police forces to more efficiently apportion their
resources, and enable police officers to prevent crime and protect
people from a variety of future harms. However, the promises of
predictive and AI technologies and innovations do not always match
reality. They often have significant weaknesses, come at a
considerable cost and require challenging trade- off s to be made.
Focusing on the UK, the US and Australia, this book explores themes
of choice architecture, decision- making, human rights,
accountability and the rule of law, as well as future uses of AI
and predictive technologies in various policing contexts. The text
contributes to ongoing debates on the benefits and biases of
predictive algorithms, big data sets, machine learning systems, and
broader policing strategies and challenges. Written in a clear and
direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars of
policing, criminology, crime science, sociology, computer science,
cognitive psychology and all those interested in the emergence of
AI as a feature of contemporary policing.
