Can crime be predicted with AI/ML?

For many years, AI/ML has been used to establish the identity of perpetrators, the perpetrators' whereabouts at the time of a criminal act and their actions and whereabouts prior to and following a criminal act. By hand, these are arduous tasks but AI categorization sifting through massive amounts of visual data along with ML behavior scripts AI/ML algorithms can eliminate human errors especially in witness identification and therefore increasing arrest accuracy. "Predictive policing" is the practice of identifying the date, times and locations where specific crimes are most likely to occur, then scheduling officers to patrol those areas in hopes of preventing crimes from taking place, therefore keeping neighborhoods safer. After much research and input from major police departments in cooperation with software suppliers, predictive analytic models have been continuously refined. A profile matrix can be constructed from a database containing known associates, possible DNA found at the scene, gunshot detection, etc.
