Summary Of Cognitive Police By Sanrick Karoliszyn
In the essay, “Precognitive Police”, Henrick Karoliszyn shares his experiences with a new technology that uses a new algorithm as a way to prevent crime before it happens. There are many benefits to having this new technology, but there are negatives as well. The way the algorithm works is by factoring in a few details such as, previous crime reports, people with more than one offense, targeted crime areas, and more. An algorithm can help police prevent crimes from happening, although the process could potentially have some problems.
Karoliszyn states, “After patrolling hot spots for a year, murders had dropped by 60 percent” (pg. 338). Thus, the current data shows that the algorithm could potentially work in preventing crimes from happening.
