算法能否有助于减少犯罪？

May 19, 2022 Giovanni Mastrobuoni

都灵——我们往往在工作和生活的其他方面遵从习惯的指引。我一般清晨工作效率最高，而且讨厌在晚饭后工作。我们的习惯往往反应偏好、学习或者两者的结合——或者，就像查尔斯·杜希格在其著作习惯的力量中所指出的那样，单纯重复某种行为就有可能形成某种惯例。

我本人近期的研究结果表明，在遵循习惯方面，犯罪分子与守法公民并没有多大区别，这可能是经验、专业化倾向以及相信自己已经制定了理想策略等要素所共同作用的结果。而且在算法这种越来越普遍的工具的协助下，警察部门也正在迎头赶上。

因为算法利用数据模式来预测未来的行为，它们可以对某人可能在Netflix上喜欢的电影或她可能在亚马逊上购买的书籍进行预测。但它们也可以协助执法机构打击犯罪。有些算法可以计算犯人未来累犯的概率。还有些可以支持预测性警务工具，上述工具以优化巡逻为目的生成犯罪预测。

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.

From APNEWS today, 05/20/2022:

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.
