هل تساعد الخوارزميات في الحد من الجريمة؟

May 19, 2022 Giovanni Mastrobuoni

تورينو - نميل جميعًا إلى إتباع العادات في مجال العمل وفي مجالات أخرى من حياتنا. عادة ما أعمل بشكل أفضل في الصباح ولا أطيق العمل في المساء. عادة ما تعكس عاداتنا التفضيلات أو التعلم أو مزيجًا من الاثنين - أو كما يشير تشارلز دوهيج في كتابه بعنوان "قوة العادات"، فإن مجرد تكرار سلوك مُعين قد يولد روتينًا.

يُظهر بحث أجريتُه مؤخرًا أن المجرمين لا يختلفون كثيرًا عن المواطنين الملتزمين بالقانون عندما يتعلق الأمر بالالتزام بالروتين، ربما نتيجة لخبرتهم واحترافهم واعتقادهم بأنهم قد توصلوا إلى إستراتيجية مثالية. كما تتخذ أقسام الشرطة باستمرار خطوات استباقية لإلقاء القبض على المجرمين بمساعدة أداة شائعة بشكل متزايد: الخوارزميات.

ونظرًا إلى أن الخوارزميات تستخدم أنماطًا أو نماذج في البيانات للتنبؤ بالسلوك المستقبلي، فيمكنها التنبؤ بالأفلام التي قد يحب شخص ما مشاهدتها على تطبيق "نيتفليكس" أو الكتب التي قد يشتريها شخص ما على موقع "أمازون". وعلى نحو مماثل، يمكنها مساعدة الشرطة في مكافحة الجريمة. إن من شأن بعض الخوارزميات توقع احتمالية عودة السجناء في المستقبل إلى الإجرام. كما تدعم الخوارزميات الأخرى أدوات الشرطة التنبؤية، التي تولد تنبؤات بالجريمة بهدف تحسين الدوريات.

You don't need predictive policing algos. Just look to Mexico. The Drug cartels, and the warlords effectively run the Mexican government and populace. The Italian Mafia/"lifestyle" has effectively spread globally and has reached a higher level of visible perversity in Mexico. Expect reverberations throughout Europe as the illegal migrants that have not assimilated into any European tolerant behavior, and further infiltration due to international paid-for-militia from Ukraine, Russia, Syria and other areas flow into Europe. These people have learned effectively how to slaughter other people for a price. The prices are escalating according to who has the most money, and who hire these slaughterers to perform their assigned tasks according to the desires and whims of the payors. These payors cross all lines of ethnicity, and national boundaries. If it is their wish, and they are willing to pay, the job gets done sooner rather than later, and often quietly. The payees will do the dirty-work to attempt to attain a level of existence as lead, ordered or guided by the corrupt payors, corrupting more and more of reasonable, educated societies globally in the process.

Yes, the crime of GREED is not being acknowledged and pursued at all by the very legally capable and culpable agencies, and institutions that should have attacked this escalating problem by effective policy controls, and regulations for how long now? Italy is one of the greatest examples of the real problems that have been ignored. The poor peons are only the finally dregs in the bucket.

The only outcome will be larger and larger confined zones that are fenced zones with more and more confined populations that are forced to ultimately killing one another., or their individual selves. Remember the coliseums of Rome? The gore will expand exponentially as will paranoia and a recreation of larger and larger essentially confined and enslaved populations that are fed to each other instead of just dogs, bugs, worms and whatever recycled trash is edible in some form from the tables of any platformed elite that are still standing and functioning as normal psychologically defined forms of something probably no longer really normally human individuals as recognizable according to any global medical standards in the present year of 2020AD.

The scenario of Ukraine and developing outcomes is a key milestone for future reference.

"Devolution" has been misinterpreted into a fantasy of democratic action. Enlightening does not work within the present mis-planning.

Aren't Algos just doing a super bang-UP job of reducing everything, especially in Italy, and the rest of the EU, even Turkey no less! What fun and games for ALGOS is just the mean time for the real down and dirty and all out real folks globally. Putin and Ukraine are just playing their part in the "extension" of Russia, courtesy of ALGOS end play.

You have to use the right ALGOS on the right, not the wrong criminals first for any of the programs to work. That's a critical first step in the greater schemes that someone forgot in their application development. Yeah petty crime is the reactive mass response of desperation for survival at different levels of non-survivable existence in advanced and even non-advanced human economic hierarchies.
