This gets me twitching. It's like some kind of Minority Report.
The idea behind it might be good - to prevent crimes before they happen -, but inevitably there are kpi's or measures put around it that lead to different, and harmful, outcomes.
Eg, police set up young or disadvantaged people so they hit their arrest targets, and therefore justify how 'great' their proactive policing policy is.
