“…Recently, the shift from predicting and ranking "hot spots" to "hot people" has become a new focus for predictive policing (Ferguson 2016). For example, Saunders et al (2016) evaluated the impact of a predictive policing program on gun violence based on a list of people estimated to be at the highest risk of gun violence, who were then referred for a preventive intervention. In addition, Mastrobuoni (2017) analyzed the effect of an offender-based software in Italy.…”

Recent revelations concerning data firm Cambridge Analytica's illegitimate use of the data of millions of Facebook users highlights the ethical and, relatedly, legal issues arising from the use of machine learning techniques. Cambridge Analytica is, or was -the revelations brought about its demise -a firm that used machine learning processes to try to influence elections in the US and elsewhere by, for instance, targeting 'vulnerable' voters in marginal seats with political advertising. Of course, there is nothing new about political candidates and parties employing firms to engage in political advertising on their behalf, but if a data firm has access to the personal information of millions of voters, and is skilled in the use of machine learning techniques, then it can develop detailed, fine-grained voter profiles that enable political actors to reach a whole new level of manipulative influence over voters.
