Summary
At the First Predictive Policing Symposium held in Los Angeles in 2009, Assistant Attorney General Laurie Robinson noted, “Law enforcement leaders are using predictive techniques in a variety of forms, but we don’t necessarily have a handle on all of them.” Predictive policing is starting to demonstrate modest positive results; however it is still a nascent field where the dimensions of predictive policing are still not clear. It comprises multiple elements and often means different things to different people.
