Question

community and problem-solving policing involve developing a trusting and cooperative relationship with citizens in order to prevent crime. When this approach is combined with predictive policing, the police share crime information with citizens. Citizens often appreciate being kept informed by the police about crimes in their communities. Potential crime victims may take the appropriate precautions if they are aware of a crime problem. Failing to notify citizens about crime risks may be seen as a disservice. However, while citizens have a right to know about crime in their communities, and there are benefits to sharing the information, victims also have a right to privacy. If the location of a crime is provided, then the identity of the victim may be determined. If the crime is sensitive in nature, respecting the victim’s right to privacy is a major issue. How should police departments balance the right to know with the right to privacy? Specifically, should information about crimes be released to the community?
