Predictive Policing: The Role of Crime Forecasting in Law Enforcement Operations

by Walter L. Perry, Brian McInnis, Carter C. Price

These tools are not a substitute for integrated approaches to policing, nor are they a crystal ball. This guide assesses some of the most promising technical tools and tactical approaches for acting on predictions in an effective way.
