Human Rights Watch is confident that all the people on the Aksu List are Uyghurs. Column F appears to be the reasons officials give for detaining a person. The same Xinjiang source who provided the Aksu List also provided other audiovisual content to Radio Free Asia’s Uyghur Service between mid and late 2018. Special thanks to Yael Grauer for additional writing and research. Predictive policing and programs like it have been subjected to much warranted criticism in recent years. The Los Angeles Police Department is dumping a controversial predictive policing program that forecasts where property crimes will happen. To protect the source, Human Rights Watch is obscuring the precise location of the Aksu List, precise dates, and some of the numbers throughout the analysis. Human Rights Watch defends the rights of people in 90 countries worldwide, spotlighting abuses and bringing perpetrators to justice. While it is unclear how the system is being used, religious restrictions on Hui Muslims—closing mosques and Arabic-language schools, scrubbing Arabic scripts from Halal restaurants—have been on the rise in Ningxia and other Hui Muslim areas since 2019. And here, there are real dangers that predictive policing systems will end up targeting people who are assumed to have bad tendencies, whether they do or not. Help us continue to fight human rights abuses. Information that has recently come to light from 2018 and 2019 suggests that the IJOP is used not only for picking out targets for detention, as described in the May 2019 Human Rights Watch report, but also to provide data for Xinjiang’s larger government information system, that powers a range of government functions. Human Rights Watch “reverse engineered” the IJOP mobile app in May 2019 and revealed the dubious criteria this mass surveillance system was programmed to flag, including many lawful behaviors. Human Rights Watch first reported on the IJOP in February 2018, noting that the policing program aggregates data about people from various sensory systems in Xinjiang, and flags to officials those it deems potentially threatening. 2020 224 pp. Naturally, despite the benefits of data-driven crime prevention (and they are many), irresponsible use of big data in policing opens the door to unethical actions and manipulation, just as is seen in Minority Report. It notes that she was detained because the IJOP system had flagged her for “links to sensitive countries.” It reported that Ms. T had received four calls from a foreign number in March 2017, down to the number of seconds. But in recent years, Palantir’s use in “predictive policing” has been attracting increasing attention. Here, we’re replacing Minority Report’s precogs with massive data sets and AI algorithms, but the intent is remarkably similar: Use every ounce of technology we have to predict who might commit a crime, and where and when, and intervene to prevent the “bad” people causing harm. July 17, 2020. Many Canadian police departments are using predictive policing software, but with a twist —forecasting where a crime will take place. “‘Predictive policing’ platforms are really just a pseudo-scientific fig leaf for the Chinese government to justify vast repression of Turkic Muslims,” Wang said. The Aksu List does not provide any additional information on the content of such audiovisual materials. C.J. But this hope has to be tempered by our unfailing ability to delude ourselves in the face of evidence to the contrary, and to justify the unethical and the immoral in the service of an assumed greater good.

Human Cogs in the Machine Yet Human Rights Watch research indicates that neither agency appears to be involved in these detentions. Discussion Prompt: When, if ever, is predictive policing effective, fair, and legitimate? They determined that the list appears authentic based on details such as detention duration and the language used. Paraphrasing definitions provided in the literature, we define predictive policing as using sophisticated computational methods to collect and analyze data about previous crimes (and possibly non-crime data) in order to predict which individuals or Neither the initial collection of personal data nor the sharing and use of such data involve asking for consent, illustrating how powerless Xinjiang’s residents are. The mass surveillance and arbitrary detention of Xinjiang’s Turkic Muslims violate fundamental rights under China’s constitution and international human rights law. Notably, three cases in the Aksu List suggest that people are treated with different levels of “strictness” depending on their level of obedience, and that people who disobey or “talk back” are placed in areas with stricter management. Human Rights Watch analyzed this material to assess the credibility of the Excel spreadsheet, as it was obtained from the same source. In June 2020, Santa Cruz, California became the first city in the United States to ban municipal use of predictive policing, a method of deploying law enforcement resources according to data-driven analytics that supposedly are able to predict perpetrators, victims, or locations of future crimes. The use of intrusive surveillance, including in and around people’s homes, also violates everyone’s right to privacy. Predictive Policing: Real-time crime monitoring and prediction software known as CompStat was introduced in New York City in 1994 and was gradually adopted across the country. In Turpan County, for example, officials vet people using the IJOP system to select politically reliable people to take part in a “labor transfer” scheme; a program that involves organizing and transporting groups of Uyghurs to work in factories elsewhere in China under closely supervised, and often coercive, conditions.

But laws that impose criminal punishment for what has been called “indirect incitement”—for example, justifying or glorifying terrorism—encroach on expression protected under international human rights law. To protect the anonymous source, Human Rights Watch will not describe specifics of the analysis performed, but concluded that the audiovisual content was taken from inside a detention facility in Aksu. China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), the same company that built the IJOP in Xinjiang, built an IJOP system in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia province, says a procurement document dated January 2020 (for RMB 280.98 million, nearly US$43 million). It was like that for all other verification tasks.”. A note on the term “predictive policing” is in order. PURCHASE AND DOWNLOAD RIGHT NOW!! Law enforcement authorities (LEAs) have begun using artificial intelligence and predictive policing applications that are likely to raise ethical, data protection, social, political and economic issues. In Xinjiang, the IJOP system is connected to information databases on second-hand cars, allowing the authorities to “compare information between persons and vehicles in real time, to discover suspicious clues in a timely manner, and to use information technology to effectively eliminate and prevent criminals from using second-hand vehicles to engage in various criminal activities that endanger the safety of society, as a publicly-available Xinjiang Department of Commerce notice says.” The notice further explains: Each automobile trading hall in our region is equipped with ID card recognition devices and video image capture systems to examine the ID cards, residence permits, community certificates, convenient contact card, vehicle information … of both buyers and sellers, to ensure that the person and their identity match.

The embedded geographic coordinates suggest that they were taken from within a large building complex previously identified as a political education camp by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a think tank. And in May 2018, the grassroots organization Stop LAPD Spying Coalition released a report raising concerns over the use of Palantir and other technologies by the Los Angeles Police Department for predicting where crimes are likely to occur, and who might commit them. Going “off grid” (去向不明 or 轨迹不明), for example “switching off their phone repeatedly” or being missing for periods of time. The hope is, of course, that we learn to wield this tremendously powerful technology responsibly and humanely because, without a doubt, if it’s used wisely, big data could make our lives safer and more secure. ).

Governments may prosecute speech that incites criminal acts—speech that directly encourages the commission of a crime, is intended to result in criminal action, or is likely to result in criminal action—whether or not criminal action does, in fact, result. We obtained two manuals that explained how the predictive policing apparatus functioned — one from 2016 and a more recent version from 2018. In general it is practically impossible to disentangle the use of predictive policing tools from other factors that affect crime or incarceration rates. Join our movement today. Yet here, real life is perhaps taking us down an even more worrying path. Predictive policing software uses data to plot points on a map to identify “hot spots” for criminal activity, so that departments can assign officers accordingly. From Films from the Future (2018), Mango Publishing. Yet there’s growing concern that, without sufficient due diligence, seemingly beneficial data and AI-based approaches to policing could easily slip into profiling and “managing people” before they commit a criminal act. This was at the center of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition report, where there were fears that “black, brown, and poor” communities were being disproportionately targeted, not because they had a greater proportion of likely criminals, but because the predictive systems had been trained to believe this.

Predictive policing is a process whereby algorithms attempt to predict instances of crime, as well as victims and offenders, based on previous data. Human Rights Watch’s analysis of the Aksu List strongly suggests that the vast majority of the people flagged by the IJOP system are detained for everyday lawful, non-violent behavior. T” on the Aksu List illustrates how the program’s algorithms identify legal behaviors as grounds for detention. The company Palantir hit the headlines this week as it made its debut on the New York Stock exchange. A 2019 study by the AI Now Institute, for example, describes how some police departments rely on “dirty data” — or data that is “derived from or influenced by corrupt, biased, and unlawful practices,” including both discriminatory policing and manipulation of crime statistics — to inform their predictive policing systems. Instead, I … *It looks like the Bureau of Justice Assistance Smart Policing Initiative was rebranded at Strategies for Policing Innovation (SPI – same acronym) sometime in the past 2 – 3 years. PredPol was used by the LAPD for nine years during which time critics had lobbied for police departments to cease using it, noting it is unjust and racist.

Big Sky Debate is pleased to release its March-April 2020 NSDA Lincoln- Douglas resources on predictive policing! Predictive policing, also known as analytics-driven policing, is an outgrowth of an increasing body of evidence that shows crime can be reduced if enough data can be analyzed. If the designers of predictive policing systems believe they know who the “bad people” are, or even if they have unconscious biases that influence their perceptions, there’s a very real danger that crime prevention technologies end up targeting groups and neighborhoods that are assumed to have a higher tendency toward criminal behavior.

Together the lists provide two snapshots of Xinjiang’s bureaucracy, as it picks and vets its victims in the process of coerced thought transformation: the decision to detain people and the decision to keep them in detention. In April 2020, the LAPD announced that it would stop using the AI-driven predictive policing software. Officials then evaluate these individuals’ “general performance” together with other sources of information, and send some to political education camps and other facilities. In one case, a man was detained for having studied the Quran in the mid-80s, and having “let his wife wear a veil” in the early 2000s. You didn’t go anywhere?” As long as they said yes, we’d fill out [the form in the app] noting the villager said he was working in the fields, he didn’t go anywhere but everything was fine. The biggest threat of predictive policing is the fact that the information it depends on is racially prejudiced and half-finished. This analysis provides Human Rights Watch with additional confidence in the authenticity of the Aksu List. The design and development of predictive policing systems are often touted as “objective” and “neutral”, but prejudices and stereotypes are embedded in the models and algorithms. What is the role of data reliability in this?See all contributions to this question.As budgets have b The concerns of "dirty data" in data-driven policing. An Amnesty International investigation found that the predictive policing system deliberately targets Eastern Europeans. About four in five were listed as being related to someone who had downloaded or shared such content, or to someone who was detained for terrorism or extremism. A coalition of civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation issued a statement criticizing the tendency of predictive policing to proliferate racial profiling.
