Social physics, risk spaces and big data: epistemologies of predictive policing

The lecture will address three different approaches to predictive policing in order to discuss their epistemologies and their performativity as a means of knowledge production, labelling of criminal subjects and intelligence-led policing. The first approach is based on criminological routine activity theory. By analysing geo-referenced crime data gathered within police databases (such as CompStat), local hot spots are defined where crime is most likely to happen in the near future. The second approach integrates different crime theories and it uses all data that 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ according to these theories 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ helps to specify the "criminogenic nature" of locations. The third approach is associated with recent advancements in machine learning and big data's claim to herald the era of post-theory. Forecasts are generated by gathering any data available from multiple sources and analysing it in order to find correlations previously unknown.
