Summary Predictive policing is the use of analytical techniques to identify targets for police intervention with the goal of preventing crime, solving past crimes, or identifying potential offenders and victims. These tools are not a substitute for integrated approaches to policing, nor are they a crystal ball. This guide assesses some of the most promising technical tools and tactical approaches for acting on predictions in an effective way.
Contents Introduction -- Making predictions about potential crimes -- Using predictions to support police operations -- Using predictions to support investigations of potential offenders -- Findings for practitioners, developers, and policymakers.
