- steveeq1 7y agoyes, downvote instead of proving my point wrong.
- AnthonyMouse 7y agoBecause per capita only matters when you're comparing groups to each other, not when you're trying to minimize the overall number of failures in the system.
- steveeq1 7y agoNo, per capita helps understand where "the hot spots" are. So my answer still stands.
- AnthonyMouse 7y agoThat would only be true if the "hot spots" represented the majority of the crime, which they evidently don't.
- dcow 7y agoDude we’re talking about identifying general criminal suspects with facial recognition. Either you’re trolling or you might actually be racist. Your answer does not “stand” up anything other than a point that black people per capita in the US commit more murders than white people—which nobody is disputing or even talking about. The facial recognition we are talking about is used to pick out general suspects from a “crowd” (which is why I used arrests). We are not trying to identify per-capita murder hotspots and we most certainly don’t need facial recognition to do so. Your argument is ultimately pointless which is why you’ve been venerably downvoted.
