Guiding Questions:
- How are predictive policing technologies being used by law enforcement across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial actors?
- How reliable and accurate are these methods in practice?
- What are the relevant legal considerations and precedents that accompany these new technologies?
- What are the disparate impact concerns raised by these technologies or their manner of use?
- What considerations (e.g., accuracy of these technologies, including underlying issues of sensitivity and specificity; privacy, civil rights, civil liberties; and disparate impact) need to be assessed in implementing these technologies by law enforcement?
- What are institutional considerations for operations and procedures to ensure that these technologies are being used effectively and equitably?
