Abstract or project description
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Hook (1st sentence)
- Current events
- Statistic, popular policing, COMPASS algorithm (predictive policing)
- Meta-writing (narrate flow of paper… “First I will introduce… Then I will discuss… Next I will…” etc)
- Background on Predictive Policing Algorithms
- Why are these models used
- How these models are used
- Transition to the next section
- Why are models biased (data, data training)
- Effects of Racial Bias Policing
- Wrongly incriminating an innocent person
- Economic impacts, psychological impacts, familial/relationship impacts, inability to reenter the labor market
- Solutions
- Data → Improve datasets… is there a more accurate way to create a dataset?
- Downstream Harms → social services, rehabilitation programs
- Policies surrounding the usage of technology → defining when it’s appropriate to use these technologies, and when it’s inappropriate
- Conclusion
