The Promise of Big Data in Public Safety and Justice

Big data is about using modern analytics to find patterns, increase knowledge, make predictions, and inform executives and line management so that better and more useful outcomes can result.

The world is overwhelmed by data — and the prospects are for more than we can drink in for as far as we can see. Studies by IBM and Cisco have concluded that 90 percent of the data in the world today has been acquired in the past 18 months, and that we will double this vast store every 18 months for the foreseeable future. These same studies calculate that we generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day.

A major source of the increasing store of data comes from the Internet, including social media, online shopping, and the posting of incredible amounts of detail on stories and everything from movies to books to newspapers to you name it.
