Predictive Policing Software Is Pretty Terrible at Predicting Crimes

Upvoted and apologies for being too aggressive in that last comment.

I would only add that it is my understanding that most sex workers would very much like sex work to simply be considered work, and that the only way to improve conditions for all sex workers is to end criminalization of consensual sex between adults, paid or otherwise. At least that's the overwhelming consensus of the swers I know and the stuff I read/follow on the topic.

Thanks, and no problem! It's a touchy subject and there's lots of shitty takes on it so I get the reaction. Definitely agree that the best solution is simply decriminalization, maybe with the addition of improved support services for the populations that do find themselves turning to sex work out of need.
