Shall we count the contradictions
"Theresa May has called on police forces to use predictive analytics in crime"
As they say when selling financial products: previous behaviour is no indication of future behaviour". It's also not very good at identifying new criminals.
But, of course:
"that too much money is still spent on expensive, fragmented and outdated systems"
So how we're going to get all that lovely information (which may or may not be useful) is anyones guess.
And of course " She noted how there is currently no single list of hair colours for identifying suspects or convicts and describing victims, agreed across all forces, makes automated comparison of records impossible"
Which means that how we build a common data set for doing that wonderful predictive checking is, again, anyones guess.
But, never fear, because when they solve all these issues " "the proper restrictions to ensure privacy and that access and use of data is lawful and appropriate.".
