- helsinkiandrew 2y agoThis is being done with data from people with previous convictions many of which will be on probation or in prison and support can be offered. The similar in intent (and equally controversial) anti terrorism “Prevent Strategy” may have had some success - although it’s hard to prove.

- kazinator 2y ago> project critics say is ‘chilling and dystopian’ They are only applying to people known to police. For anyone known to police who has killed twice already, you don't need any fancy algorithm: just short-circuit to "highly likely". They tried killing once, and it suited them well enough to do it again. People known to police only for petty or non-violent crimes like shoplifting or possession of dope can probably be filtered out. You need the algorithm for everything in between.
