I am currently writing my master thesis on predictive policing using machine learning. Working with local police in Norway. Got a bunch of papers and articles you might find interesting. Hit me up: michaedm@stud.ntnu.no
I know people have done these types of studies before but found that they easily became bias, and thus there is a wariness of using it (like the judge AI who was more likely to convict black people). I'm not sure how it is in Norway, but I don't expect it to be much different from America, where there are places which are disproportionately convicted of crimes, where other areas such crimes are seen as infractions. This is really going to mess with the data and perpetuate the bad system.
