Early improvement and assessment
[edit]This article could be important. But in its present form, its is likely to be deleted for at least two reasons: 1) while the subject of the article is "precrime", it talks mainly about postcrime, 2) apart from reference to book and movie "Minority Report" the article gives no references to precrime. I will at least start to rewrite the article. Johannes (talk) 21:09, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Done. The article needs to be re-rated now. Johannes (talk) 07:45, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
- Rated it "C"-class. It is well sourced and arguably beyond "Start" stage, but still lacks the kind of depth we expect for "B" class (there are six criteria). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:50, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Example of pre-crime?
[edit]I don't know if this qualifies as an example of pre-crime? MiniMax.DK (talk) 17:19, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you, MiniMax, for providing this example. It is, however, as the discussion shows, a borderline case. Johannes (talk) 09:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- sorry for no login but I felt this information might be useful.
There are 2 companies that I know of that are actively beta testing this technology. One is called PredPol. Headed by an attorney named Caleb Baskin (of Baskin and Fowler - Santa Cruz, CA). Another company in Mountain View CA has also developed this technology.(Wired Magazine) and is also Beta testing in Santa Cruz CA.

History
[edit]London, Chicago were the first citys who applied Precrime. This is missing. Where is it used on a large scale today? e.g. Stadtpolizei Winterthur. This is also missing. --93.134.182.127 (talk) 08:54, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- So are any sources for such a suggestion. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:46, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Requested move 5 February 2018
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Moved. (non-admin closure) –Ammarpad (talk) 16:06, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Precrime → Pre-crime – The lead itself says that "pre-crime" is the common spelling (for what our article is about, the legal-academic view of "prophylactic criminal justice"). The spelling "Precrime" is predominantly a proper name from Philip K. Dick's short story (and wasn't even rendered that way in the film adaptation, which has "PreCrime"), and not used in the non-fiction literature we're citing. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:42, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support per nom. My pre-crime rap sheet is very long. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Missing and unused citations
[edit]The article has <ref><ref>Boetticher & Feest (2008), p. 263 sq.</ref></ref>
in it, but there is no such source cited in full anywhere in the article (and "sq." isn't an abbreviation we use).
Meanwhile this semi-related source was dumped onto the end of the article, but is not cited inline anywhere, so I'm removing it:
- Feest, Johannes (2015). "Abolition in the times of pre-crime: A view from Germany". In Mathiesen, Thomas (ed.). The Politics of Abolition Revisited. Milton Park / New York: Routledge. ISBN 9781138687691. – page numbers missing
