Predictive Policing & Big Data Analysis

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London

The application of ‘big data’ to make predictions about future behaviour is increasingly being applied in policing and by social services. The more it is important to publicly discuss this development and exchange knowledge about it.
Hosted by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Department of Digital Humanities, King’s College London, leading academics and practitioners from the Netherlands and the UK have been invited to discuss use cases of predictive analytics while not forgetting about its societal implications and ethical issues from privacy to biased algorithms.
Can prediction make our societies safer, as some say? Or is it itself an unsafe practice, as others fear? By exploring its complex details, this event hopes to contribute to an open discussion. We look forward to welcome you at the Royal Society on Tuesday, 4 December 6pm. Besides members of the Dutch and British Police (tbc), our speakers will be:
Claudia Aradau, King’s College London: Claudia Aradau is Professor of International Politics in the School of Security Studies. Her current research analyses contemporary articulations of security and unknowns, particularly as mediated through data, algorithmic practices and digital devices.
Reinder Doeleman, Police Amsterdam: Rainer Doeleman is the Head of the regional Intelligence organization at the police unit of Amsterdam. His specialties contain among other: the top 600 program of High Impact Crime perpetrators, Intelligence Led Policing, Business intelligence, Predictive Policing and ICT & policing.
Bob Hoogenboom, Nyenrode Business University: Bob Hoogenboom’s research is located in the field of fraud and fraud prevention, integrity issues and public-private collaboration in the security industry.
