I'd be very curious to learn more details about the "causal factors" and "other offenses relating to risk-taking behavior" that are the inputs for this algorithm. It doesn't seem, based on this article, that the police are disclosing that at this time. Do citizens in Australia (or any free society) have a right to discover these types details? In my view they should, if we are to go down this road at all. I wonder if there is any precedent for this, or if there will have to be an enumeration of such rights and responsibilities with respect to predictive policing.
