In Pittsburgh, a child welfare agency uses a statistical model to try to predict which children might be future victims of abuse or neglect.Since the dawn of the digital age, decision-making in finance, employment, politics, health and human services has undergone revolutionary change. Today, automated systems control which neighborhoods get policed, which families attain resources, and who is investigated for fraud. While we all live under this new regime of data, the most invasive and punitive systems are aimed at the poor.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, History, Computing & InternetRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
