Big Data, AI and the future of crime and justice Thursday 23rd May 2019
University of East London, Docklands Campus, E16 2RD. Lecture room WB.G.02
We’re familiar with data about the number and types of crimes reported, where they happen, and when. But how else can data be used to make society safer and the criminal justice system more just and fair? From using AI to take down extremist content online, the police disrupting hotspots using predictive analytics, to researchers giving police new insight into the perpetrators and victims of crime. This conference brings together an exciting line-up of speakers from government and academia to address some of the most exciting and challenging issues around the use of data and AI in law and order.
Speakers: Allan Brimicombe, UEL; Chair, Crime & Justice Statistics Network; Iain Bell, Deputy National Statistician, ONS; Rupert Chaplin, Home Office Analysis and Head of Data Science; Jonathan Roberts, Chief Data Scientist, Ministry of Justice; Cristina Magder, UK Data Service; Anjali Mazumder, Alan Turing Institute; Nicolas Malleson, Geographical Information Science, University of Leeds; Martina Feilzer, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Bangor University; Helen Hodges, Wales Centre for Public Policy, Cardiff University:
