Anne Milgram: Why smart statistics are the key to fighting crime

If she meant business she would decriminalize marijuana..
hey tim
yeah ban thco but dont ban cancer sticks shes not smart
great presentation, but I'm conflicted. although I believe it may benefit certain people, I also believe it could hinder others in the end who may have changed. for instant how would this work for someone who was a troubled juvenile becoming a mature, learned there lesson adult will those statistics follow them
Horrible ideas. Not prosecuting lower level offenses is what has lead to the epidemic of shop lifting and out of control behavior of the criminal element. Businesses have been forced to close leaving residents worse off. George Soros could have wrote this talk. Thank goodness people have realized this is a mistake and recalled woke DA’s. Bring back mass incarceration and watch the quality of life in big cities soar.
Why this world is too bend to allow people who work only with pen 🖊️ I instead put those people in the field and then allow them to study law, they have no idea 💡 they have a tool only their mouth and brain, and have no idea of how actually fight in the real world and upon this they make more money than actual agents and police men.
This TED talk didn't hold up well for miss Milgram did it? She's terrible at her job.😑
This Toll House cookie baking soccer mom ain't stoping nothing! this is why there's so much corruption in her agency she's busy doing TED Talks.
How about you start investigating all the Hispanic agents that work for you and their connections with the cartels I have a feeling she's to white and out-of-touch to pick up on that.
This woman has indirectly killed three people due to her "ways of fighting crime", her DEA has suspended the license of a doctor who had practiced for 50 years and had not one complaint. He treated very complex cases in which many patients became bedridden with pain. Sadly when his license was suspended two families (so far) with patients, a beautiful mother and husband then had to deal with the only thing that works being taken away from them. She signed the complaint knew about it did not help she has blood on her hands and will the rest of her life. Look it up.
I wonder why TED sponsored a vendor? There were lots of analogies and talk- but no real substance in identifying risk factors. Of course we should treat violent offenders differently- but do we let other chronic offenders off the hook? A Burglary, for example, is a property- "non-violent crime" yet the victims are real and fearful after-the-fact. Chronic property crime offenders are emboldened by the cities that have lack of prosecution policies- look at the epidemic of "smash and grabs."
Should White Collar crimes be given a pass as well, because they are "non-violent crimes?"

As an aside, when she gave the example of the suspect who stole 3 blankets and was incarcerated for 9 months- there is more to the story- what held up his case? The prosecution? Most likely- the defense.

I'd love to see an updated version of this.
I think that the process would be better if it simply showed to the judges the how many risk factors presents the criminal and which percent of new criminal activity belongs to each risk factor. Added bonus if it showed the most similar cases to the one presented, with the choices made and the results of that choice. Having all of that data simplified to a single score doesn't explain how that score was given
Well you give me money ball but that's only one success story.....what is the data saying once more MLB teams started using it....what is the success rate then....are we manifesting another movie "minority report"....the judge's prosecutor's and cop's subject training and experience are relative and relevant only to the level at which they have been educated and experienced crime. Justice is blind and thus must always be given objectivity in the analysis of investigated corroborated facts....and you have put the cart before the horse.... It would have to start from the bottom and work its way up the first contact it is so subjective and quote unquote hunchy is where you really need to have the objective analysis to protect citizens because at the top level the attorney level and at the judge level there are different standards of proof how do you analytically account for that at any level. Just food for thought. But more importantly how can we talk about criminal Justice reform without reforming the 13th amendment how can we talk criminal Justice reform without talking about re-engineering the destruction of the Fourth amendment done by conservative courts at the supreme appellate circuit level and at the district level and at the state levels. And it all goes for not if we don't create a reconsideration of all issues done prior to if we find Injustice in the administration of criminal Justice justice requires reconsideration of everything and in the interest of Justice everything should be considered because to be able to take someone's life their Liberty their franchise and they're very ability to have a life as a citizen it's fundamentally with Justice and the American way dictates so if you going to be lazy and you want to push numbers all day fine but push them all push them all back and render the Injustice Justice. A great start but you can't hit an easy button on a complicated situation just doing something is better than nothing but do it right make it clean
8 months for stealing blankets!! he wouldn't have gotten that if he were convicted!
How does your statistics plan work for people who are charged just for having a darker skin color? Human factor are still the big problem.
The biggest flaw in her analogy is when a baseball scout gets it wrong, there are no victims. When people like her get it wrong, somebody suffers. You can't "Moneyball" the prediction of human behavior.

yet its 2021 and nothings changed.
POV: You only watched this because of school
I’m scared of a dip in qualitative assessment ability amongst judges with this tool. The best way to use this tool: as an organization of assessed data. The numbers don’t make the decision, the judge does. The whole point of a justice system is to find the exception.
This is amazing!
