Digital Leaders Salon: Data Analytics in Policing
This event is on 17 February 2015 4:00pm
This event will explore the role of data analytics in investigating and prosecuting crime, drawing on the expertise of the two lead discussants: Simeon Yates, Director of the Institute of Cultural Capital and former lead on the ATHENA project exploring data analytics and gun crime; and Colin Magee, CEO of Data Analytics specialists Logical Glue.
The conversation will explore questions such as:
- What is technology’s role in the prevention of crime?
- What can Big Data advances offer to the prevention and detection of crime?
- What new operational and data sharing protocols are needed?
- Are current policing organisational structures appropriate?
- What safeguards are necessary to ensure public protection of privacy and civil liberties?
