  Prediction has a long history in the social sciences, and advances in computing and statistics have transformed our ability to predict in a wide range of domains. However, concerns have been raised about an indiscriminate application of a predictive logic, and crime is an area where this is quite pronounced. Indeed, while the police, correctional service, and criminal courts have become increasingly reliant on digital systems of prediction, critics have drawn our attention to numerous issues and complexities attendant to this process. This chapter looks at prediction in the criminological realm and provides an overview of key arguments concerning the way data are generated, organized, and used as input for predictive tools and technologies, and how the results are interpreted in the context of criminal justice. By doing so, it aims to show that the discussions surrounding prediction highlight how digital tools are transforming the nature of knowledge and expertise within the criminal justice system.

  Over the past 20 years, police organisations and practices across the globe have adopted data-driven tools to predict and prevent crime. Advances in digitalisation combined with the increasing role of private security, tech, and consulting companies are reshaping contemporary policing. Techno-managerialism, underpinned by computational logic, has altered the way we think – from causality to correlations and probabilities. In this introduction, we present the historical origins of predictive policing, a genealogical analysis of the concept, and introduce external factors for understanding the rise of predictive policing. Next, the critical understanding of predictive policing will be presented. The background is that the discreet charm of prediction, in terms of increased efficiency, reduced fiscal burdens, improved accuracy of decision-making, streamlined data management, and lower crime rates, has in recent years been met with scepticism, considerable critique, and even warnings of dystopia. We conclude the introduction by presenting our interdisciplinary approach to predictive policing and the volume's analysis of digital police infrastructure in Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Sweden, and the UK.

  Norsk politi står overfor krevende utfordringer. Kriminelle nettverk opererer på tvers av landegrenser og rekruttering av barn til kriminelle aktiviteter skjer digitalt. I DN kan vi lese at Grete Lien Metlid, leder for Felles enhet for etterretning og etterforskning, skal bli leder for enheten som koordinerer de operative styrkene i Oslo politidistrikt, og tar med seg analyse og etterforskning til blålys og sanntidsaksjoner. Det er klokt og nødvendig. Vår forskning på etterretning viser at mange etterretningsanalyser aldri når det operative ledd i politiet, og at etterretningen kan være for generell og vanskelig å bruke.

  Digitalisering i politiet gir kulturkrasj mellom utegående politi og ledere.
