The “Urban Crime Predictive System” was developed by the Security Analysis and Modeling Center (CEAMOS) of the University of Chile together with Carabineros de Chile, and has been implemented in fifty-eight police stations throughout the country, with the objective of efficiently directing preventive police patrolling, defining areas of greater vigilance and control. The report detects a series of problems such as the lack of transparency and audits, the type of data that is collected and the way in which it is treated, which could generate the reproduction of discriminatory practices.
