The notion of predictive policing is attracting increasing attention from law enforcement agencies around the country as departments struggle to fight crime at a time when budgets are being slashed (Goode, 2011,p.1). Predicting crime with computer programs is in some ways a natural outgrowth of the technology that companies like Wal-Mart now use routinely to predict the buying habits of customers, said Scott Dickson, a crime analyst for the police department in Killeen, Texas (p.1). Efforts to systematically anticipate when and where crimes will occur are being tried out in several cities. The Chicago Police Department, for example, created a predictive analytics unit last year
|Student Number: |C1317374 | |Module Code: |SI0202 | |Essay Title: |Crime | |Word Count: |2745 | Populism and managerialism have no doubt influenced state-organised responses to crime, and their policy shifts over the past two decades. Managerialism can be defined as ‘a set of governmental knowledges, techniques and practices which aim to fracture and realign power relations within the core agencies of the criminal justice system in order to transform the structures and reorganize in a cost-effective manner the processes of both funding, delivering and imagining criminal justice.’ (McLaughlin 2013: 260).

Law enforcement added new systems to help track and apprehend suspects and wanted criminals. For example, some patrol cars have a fingerprinting devices, this device is used to run a persons prints through a nationwide database. This has led to apprehending illegal immigrants, individuals with warrants, and numerous criminal offenses. I want to discuss how technology has led to increased violence in our prison system and how we can implement current technology to control prison violence.
As a result of incarcerating criminals for lesser or minor crimes, inmate population numbers have risen sharply and thus have impacted current facility operations funding via taxpayer dollars. Another impact to funding is that if the bill passes it will add to the already rising population and cost levels to support and maintain future and current facilities. Although the bill is popular throughout the communities, it can be used as a political tool to gain voter support during election years. And finally it may bring forth new trials for those already incarcerated for similar
