Minority report: Fact or fiction? Can we actually predict violent behavior?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlePopular

Abstract

More than twenty-four years ago, the film Minority Report offered a visionary glimpse into a future of self-driving cars, facial recognition, and the possibility of predicting crimes before they occur. Some of these technologies have since become reality, but how close are we really to predicting violent behavior? This article reflects on the science of predicting violent behavior, from past to present.
