summary
Examines concrete tech: the Citizen app pushes 911-based alerts and ankle monitors scale to ~125,000 monitored (2005–2015), while a California gang database lists 87% Black/Latinx including infants. Field resume tests show 8.5% vs 6.19% callbacks for white versus Black names and whites gain from better resumes while Blacks do not. A pretrial risk model compares to judges: judges release 73.7% with 11.3% rearrest, the model keeps crime at 8.5% and can free ~40% fewer people jailed.
