DESCRIPTION:The goal of predictive policing is to forecast where and when 
 crimes will take place in the future. In less than a decade since its ince
 ption\, the idea has captured the imagination of police agencies around th
 e world. An increasing number of agencies are purchasing software tools th
 at claim to help reduce crime by mapping the likely locations of future cr
 ime to guide the deployment of police resources. Yet the claims and promis
 es of predictive policing have not been subject to critical examination. T
 his paper will provide a long overdue review of the available literature o
 n the theories\, techniques and assumptions embedded in various predictive
  tools. Specifically\, it highlights three key issues about the use of alg
 orithmic prediction in policing that researchers and practitioners should 
 be aware of: Assumptions\, evaluation and accountability.
