Preventative Government and Public Safety: Already Living in the Year 2054?

Submitted by ric on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 11:03pm

From MetroTrends Blog: "In the District of Columbia, the pretrial services agency makes risk predictions for about 20,000 defendants annually. That’s a lot of people whose lives depend on statistical models. No wonder scientists and policymakers engineering these models feel pressured (and they should) to get the science right. Even so, that’s not the hardest part of this puzzle."

Justice

Submitted by ric on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 10:45pm

"We have heard talk of justice. Is there anybody who knows what justice is? No one on earth can measure out justice. Can you look at any man and say what he deserves — whether he deserves hanging by the neck until dead or life in prison or thirty days in prison or a medal? The human mind is blind to all who seek to look in at it and to most of us that look out from it. Justice is something that man knows little about. He may know something about charity and understanding and mercy, and he should cling to those as far as he can."   -Clarence Darrow
