"ignore the data and do what's good for the feels."
If you are writing a system that is designed to predict arrests for any reason other than telling police officers where to go, then arrest records are precisely the data you want to use without these political correctness coefficients. So advertising legal help for criminal arrests to someone that matches arrest demographics is the correct thing to do. Anything else is stupidity.

- CoryG89 10y agoThis is a good point. If you are trying to design a system that "tells police officers where to go" then you shouldn't be using data to predict arrests, you should be predicting crime, which we don't have unbiased data for.
