Unless there's some Minority Report like precognition in place (monitoring people's web searches in real time perhaps?), I don't see how cops can prevent murder

Unless there's some Minority Report like precognition in place (monitoring people's web searches in real time perhaps?), I don't see how cops can prevent murders (except for repeat offenders perhaps).
I'd rather think that the threshold for criminal activity is lowered whenever the outlook is bleak and stress is high.
- sadris 6y ago3% of the population commits 57% of all crime. So you could incapacitate those individuals prior to them committing murder. IE: put them in prison for 20 years for theft, then they can't commit murder. Let them out when their testosterone drops below criminal thresholds (in their late 30s)
- prepend 6y agoThat’s what I was thinking. If I get picked up for jaywalking, then I’m in the clink for a few weeks and can’t commit other crimes, etc etc
- tomjakubowski 6y ago> commits 57% of all crime how is the portion of crimes committed measured? number of charges?
