This is a really interesting case study where there are patterns that now appear impossible to ignore. However, these actors did not know how the future would unfold. How many teens in similar situations and with similar patterns end up murdering someone? When we think about crime prevention we also need to consider what rates of false positives/negatives we are willing to tolerate. We also need to consider that removing someone from such an environment could exacerbate their mental health and push them to be violent. What do to?
Informative post as usual, Joni. I have a dozen thoughts swirling around inside, none of which are concrete enough to add as a question or comment.
