SSL List Sees Daylight

  • As Chicago endured a devastating surge in gun violence last summer, scores of people with long rap sheets stood atop the Chicago Police Department’s secret watch list, newly obtained records show.

    One of the men had been arrested 12 times for violent crimes, all before turning 20. He’d also been charged with illegal gun possession. Two others each had been arrested eight times for violent crimes and caught three times with guns. Another man had been busted three times for illegal guns, racked up four arrests for violent offenses and been shot twice.

    “We have 1,400 individuals that drive this gun violence in this city,” police Supt. Eddie Johnson said in August, assuring the public his department was keeping tabs on the people on its closely guarded “Strategic Subject List.” “We’ve gotten very good at predicting who will be the perpetrators or victims of gun violence.”

    Yet the list is far broader and more extensive than Johnson and other police officials have suggested. It includes more than 398,000 entries — encompassing everyone who has been arrested and fingerprinted in Chicago since 2013.
398,000? And this:
  • Nearly half of the people at the top of the list have never been arrested for illegal gun possession. About 13 percent have never been charged with any violent crime. And 20 of the 153 people deemed most at risk to be involved in violent crime, as victim or shooter, have never been arrested either for guns or violence.
That must be one hell of an algorithm that Lewin developed.

He did get this correct though:
  • The police say they do not include race or gender in the risk assessment. But the database includes that information and shows the vast majority of people with the highest score — 85 percent — were African-American men.
That tracks pretty closely with the HeyJackass.com statistics of victims and offenders, which of course, will now be denounced as racist.

Lewin: how about IT background?
All I can find is a kid fascinated with computers
and his interest in police work. We're putting our
faith in a one-man genius team? Heard Univ. of Chicago
mentioned in some articles. How about running the algo
before people with a more extensive background, like at
MIT or CMU. All we have now is a self-proclaimed wizard
who smokes his own shit. How about getting that list and
algo before some fresh set of eyes at independent academic
institutions? I think what we have now is the blind leading
the blind. We're supposed to follow this fool for years without
independent feedback/confirmation? Please, DON'T follow the
Chicago Way on this one, boys.

To identify anyone's race on such a list it truly racist and unforgivable. name and age should be the only identifiers. Adding race only gives the false impression that Blacks are more prone to crime than other races.

That is the best description of Lewin that I have ever seen or heard.
And, while he has some smarts with regard to computers, he is Not as smart as he would like everyone to believe. I doubt that he developed the entire algorithm himself.

The algorithm is run on everyone who is arrested. Most people get a score of 0.

We know that there are indicators of likelihood of involvement in violence, like age at first arrest, number of arrests, etc. it doesn't have to be that they had a gun arrest. Mick Dumke, you're an idiot.

I do not know if these lists are BS or golden.

One way to find out. Find a list, and keep track of the people named. What happens to them? Do they live, die, get shot, stabbed, or OD? Do they get decent jobs, or do they end up in prison?

That 20 out of 153? They may be clean, or just careful to not get caught. Be interesting to see what happens to them by October 1...
And five years down the road.

Be interesting to see how many of those poor innocent snowflakes should still be in prison? How many have been sentenced fifteen times for a total of forty years, and are only 25?

Can't die on the streets if you are in prison. Can't rob, rape, or murder on the streets of Chicago if you are locked up.

The criminals are safer in prison. The neighborhoods are safer if they are in prison.

And the point of this study was what? We have not yet reached the point of being a Socialist Totalitarian State, though we are getting close thanks to the Left leaning Democrat Party. We cannot yet infringe upon the rights of citizens, who have not yet done the illegal act, especially those of color. So, now what; we have 398,000 potential felonies in progress, with a police department of possibly 9,000 cops spread out on multiple shifts.We have fallen to 4th place in population, and will possibly be 2.5 million, Who really wants to live in such a place?

I'd like to know how Lewin developed protocol to
include never-arrested individuals on the list?
Brothers/sisters of bangers? O.D.'ers who survived?
People who sought help for addiction? Kids from "hot zip codes"
who never finished high school?
The published newspaper photo of Rahm, Special Ed, and another
individual, makes Lewin look like the smartest guy in the room.
Lewin fits the profile of the 90-day wonder: right age, computer
expertise, and a con-man attitude that he can stay one step ahead
of critics while baffling everyone with bullshit.
The "wild card data points" will decimate his theories and algos:
shifting gang dominance & violence, drug trade, liberal early release
programs, refusal to prosecute firearm felonies and straw purchases
to the fullest extent of the law. In other words, Lewin fails to factor in
the vagaries of the individuals and institutions on HIS side of the law.

And 20 of the 153 people deemed most at risk to be involved in violent crime, as victim or shooter, have never been arrested either for guns or violence.”

Typical media approach though. What this translates to is, OVER half HAVE been arrested for illegal gun possession, 87% HAVE been charged with any violent crime, and about 87% HAVE been arrested either for guns or violence.
