Social scientists have wanted to predict when victimization, abuse, suicide is going to happen for a long time.
This is the other side of the coin.
I suggest that as long as 'individuals are not targeted for culpability' - ie they are looking in 'general terms' and especially for 'victims' then maybe this might work?
'Jane Doe is at very high risk of abuse from a family member' -> maybe we should just check in.
'123 ABC St. is at very high likelihood of break-in - maybe just cruise on by to 'show a presence'.
All of this said, I often wonder if these 'algorithms' just reproduce with cops on the ground, managing relationships already know.
'Yes, thank you computer, Jane Doe who's been beaten by her husband 3 times is 'at risk''.
'Yes, thank you computer, 6th and Finch, aka 'crack corner' is at 'high risk' of crime'.
