It sounds more like the minority report! Predicting crimes is rediculous, to do it properly you need to know exact locations with times and dates.

Exactly, it sounds impossible to do.

You watch too many movies. It uses paterns to predict paterns not specific crimes.

I guess criminals of the future will just have to not commit crimes.

It looks like it's basically saying "Look at the crime hotspots and assign more police units there" - Hardly rocket science, I thought that they were doing this already?

Well, its logical to put police where the crimes are... in Britain it's logical to put more police units in Brixton... or St Pauls in Bristol.
It's still going to be a feat to achieve no matter what anyone says.
