PREDICTIVE POLICING: EFFECTIVE TOOL OR DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICE?
Note
In the weekly discussions, students must make their own post first before they can see what others have posted. This keeps all responses fresh and original.
Remember, your first post should be made by Wednesday. By Sunday, end of the week, you should have three substantive posts on 3 separate days.
Your initial response to the main question should be at least two full paragraphs with in-text citations and full APA-formatted references to any resources used.
