Analytics is a powerful practice, and it’s applicable to many facets of law. Some bet that data-driven risk assessment tools can be implemented to prevent crime before it happens, while others remain skeptical of the implications on those targeted.

Ng. The moderator was Katherine Strandburg, professor at NYU School of Law.
