Description
Statistics show that crime, especially violent crime, is hyper concentrated within certain times, places and people. Just look at these stats: 90-95 % of homicides take place in less than 2% of the street addresses in any area. Half of all crimes occur within the same 10 hours of every week. 5% or less of the population in any given area is responsible for 90% of crime that happens there. Is there a way to leverage this data to prevent crime? Robert Muggah thinks so. Listen in to hear him explain how technology is revolutionizing the world’s policing systems. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll learn from the show: * How one technology reduced police response time in Brazil from 14 days after a crime had taken place to 20 minutes after it was reported * What hot spot policing is and why it’s important * What the controversial “hotlist algorithm” is and the ethical questions it’s raising *If you can't get enough of The Future Tech podcast, please subscribe, and throw some bitcoins our way.
