crime prediction

Select one of the following goals from Chapter 12, Table 12.1 on of The Prevention of Crime for your initial post.

Table 12.1: Recommendations for increasing the use and rigor of evaluation methods in crime prevention.

Goal	Recommendation
Reducing differences in lists of â€œWhat worksâ€	Use systematic review processes Require rigorous evaluation standards Require consensus on evaluation standards by multiple experts Regularly update lists and evaluation standards
Increasing the number of effective interventions	Employ rigorous, quasiâ€experimental designs when randomized control trials are not feasible Use â€œadaptiveâ€ research designs to evaluate multiâ€component interventions and policies Use emerging methods such as Social Network Analysis to evaluate social context interventions

Examine the future of crime prediction using the recommendations listed beside your chosen goal, and incorporate the following:

Based on your earlier research and readings, evaluate current prevention programs and how they might be changed in the future based on these goals.
Analyze the impact of diversity in future crime prediction strategies, especially within law enforcement agencies that have little credibility with their communities today.
Assess whether your chosen goal positively or negatively impacts social justice for all groups or just targeted segments of society.
