I find this really interesting. I think what most people seem to be missing is the wider social context. Think about this. If you exclude white collar financial crime, pre-meditated murder, and organised crime - most other crimes are committed by the socially disadvantaged. So, if the algorithm identifies an area where crime is more likely to be committed, instead of being narrow minded and just putting more police there to arrest people, why not instead try to institute programs to raise the socioeconomic status of the area? People are just concentrating on the crime aspect, but most crime is just a symptom of social inequality.
