Most people associate predictive policing with science-fiction scenarios, i n w h i c h o f f i c e r s u s e c o m p l e x algorithms to anticipate and disrupt crimes before they are committed (McCulloch and Wilson 2016, 1-2). It is not difficult to imagine police stations equipped with high-tech glass walls displaying the results of complex algorithmic calculations that map crime in the local area like modern crystal balls (Egbert and Leese 2021, 170)
