Hardly a tech issue, but an important societal issue.
The article shows that the vast majority of crimes are committed by a very small number of individuals, in the age range of 20-35. Those individuals generally are released after a short term in jail, only to immediately commit more crimes. The vast majority are arrested 5 or more time (many 15 or more times).
The argument then is: shouldn´t individuals like this be taken off the streets for longer periods of time - say, until they are past the age of 35? "Maybe 3 strikes laws are unjust, but how about 5 strikes? 10 strikes? Even 15 strikes would make a dent."
Welcome to central coast California. It is a tech issue as people like Ellison think it will solve the issue by surveilling everyone and using 'AI' to find the bad guys. The worse part is it goes from petty crimes to terrible crimes.
I am not, however, advocating the lock them up til 35. We need to use the money we subsidize people like Ellison with to mitigate and navigate long before the first arrest happens.
