The Socio-Economic Impacts of Predictive Policing on Minority Communities and Potential Solutions
Started June 14, 2024
Abstract or project description
This research paper examines how predictive policing algorithms perpetuate racial biases and exacerbate socio-economic disparities for minority communities. These technologies, despite being designed to improve law enforcement efficiency, often rely on historically biased data, leading to wrongful arrests, economic hardship, and psychological trauma. By analyzing the mechanisms of these algorithms and their downstream effects, the paper highlights the urgent need for reforms. It proposes solutions such as improving data quality, integrating restorative justice practices, and implementing strict oversight policies to mitigate these harms. Ultimately, the paper advocates for equitable and ethical use of predictive technologies to ensure justice for all communities.
