843
2591
2007年,我担任了新泽西州的
00:15
of the state of New Jersey新泽西.
1
3434
1725
司法部长。
00:17
Before that, I'd been a criminal刑事 prosecutor原告,
2
5159
2280
在那之前,我曾是一名刑事检察官,
00:19
first in the Manhattan曼哈顿 district attorney's律师 office办公室,
3
7439
2681
先是在曼哈顿地区检查官办公室,
00:22
and then at the United联合的 States状态 Department of Justice正义.
4
10120
2650
后来是在国家司法部。
00:24
But when I became成为 the attorney律师 general一般,
5
12770
2201
但是在担任司法部长之后,
00:26
two things happened发生 that changed
the way I see criminal刑事 justice正义.
6
14971
3895
发生了两件事让我改变了对刑事司法的看法
00:30
The first is that I asked what I thought
7
18866
2030
第一个是我提出我所认为的
00:32
were really basic基本 questions问题.
8
20896
2186
很基本的问题。
00:35
I wanted to understand理解 who we were arresting逮捕,
9
23082
2856
我想要了解我们逮捕的是什么人,
00:37
who we were charging充电,
10
25938
1664
我们指控的是什么人,
00:39
and who we were putting in our nation's国家 jails监狱
11
27602
2128
还有我们是将什么样的人关进看守所
00:41
and prisons监狱.
12
29730
1416
和监狱。
00:43
I also wanted to understand理解
13
31146
1648
我也想要了解
00:44
if we were making制造 decisions决定
14
32794
1329
我们所做的决定是否
00:46
in a way that made制作 us safer更安全.
15
34123
2518
会让民众更加安全。
00:48
And I couldn't不能 get this information信息 out.
16
36641
3252
但我无法获取这类信息
00:51
It turned转身 out that most big criminal刑事 justice正义 agencies机构
17
39893
3357
原来多数大型刑事司法机构
00:55
like my own拥有
18
43250
1302
就像我工作的地方
00:56
didn't track跟踪 the things that matter.
19
44552
2382
他们并没有对真正重要的事情进行持续的跟踪调查和记录。
00:58
So after about a month of being存在 incredibly令人难以置信 frustrated受挫,
20
46934
3318
所以经历了约一个月的异常沮丧之后,
01:02
I walked down into a conference会议 room房间
21
50252
1971
我走进一个会议室
01:04
that was filled填充 with detectives侦探
22
52223
1890
满屋都是探员
01:06
and stacks and stacks of case案件 files,
23
54113
2782
和成堆成堆的案件档案,
01:08
and the detectives侦探 were sitting坐在 there
24
56895
1176
探员们坐在那里
01:10
with yellow黄色 legal法律 pads taking服用 notes笔记.
25
58071
2234
用黄色便笺簿作着笔记。
01:12
They were trying to get the information信息
26
60305
1586
他们试图获取的信息
01:13
I was looking for
27
61891
1218
就是我一直在寻找的
01:15
by going through通过 case案件 by case案件
28
63109
2045
通过逐个分析
01:17
for the past过去 five years年份.
29
65154
1898
过去的五年间的所有案件。
01:19
And as you can imagine想像,
30
67052
1653
你可以想象
01:20
when we finally最后 got the results结果, they weren't good.
31
68705
2643
我们终于得出的结果并不是很理想。
01:23
It turned转身 out that we were doing
32
71348
1655
原来我们一直在做
01:25
a lot of low-level低级别 drug药物 cases
33
73003
2020
很多低级的毒品案件
01:27
on the streets街道 just around the corner
34
75023
1475
就在拐角处的街道上
01:28
from our office办公室 in Trenton特伦顿.
35
76498
2268
离我们在特伦顿的办公室不远。
01:30
The second第二 thing that happened发生
36
78766
1467
第二件事是
01:32
is that I spent花费 the day in the Camden卡姆登,
New Jersey新泽西 police警察 department.
37
80233
3674
我在卡姆登的新泽西州警察局耗了一天。
01:35
Now, at that time, Camden卡姆登, New Jersey新泽西,
38
83907
1887
当时,新泽西州的卡姆登
01:37
was the most dangerous危险 city in America美国.
39
85794
2652
是美国最危险的城市。
01:40
I ran the Camden卡姆登 Police警察
Department because of that.
40
88446
3827
我跑了一趟卡姆登警察局就是因为这个原因。
01:44
I spent花费 the day in the police警察 department,
41
92273
2112
我在警察局待了一整天,
01:46
and I was taken采取 into a room房间
with senior前辈 police警察 officials官员,
42
94385
2726
被带到了一个高级警官待的房间,
01:49
all of whom were working加工 hard
43
97111
1675
那里所有人都在努力工作
01:50
and trying very hard to reduce减少 crime犯罪 in Camden卡姆登.
44
98786
3257
并很努力的试图减少卡姆登的犯罪活动
01:54
And what I saw in that room房间,
45
102043
1826
在那个房间里,
01:55
as we talked about how to reduce减少 crime犯罪,
46
103869
2245
当我们谈到如何减少犯罪,
01:58
were a series系列 of officers长官 with a
lot of little yellow黄色 sticky notes笔记.
47
106114
3859
有很多拿着小小的黄色便笺的警官。
02:01
And they would take a yellow黄色 sticky
and they would write something on it
48
109973
2846
他们会揭下一张黄色便笺,在上面写点东西
02:04
and they would put it up on a board.
49
112823
1799
然后把它贴在板儿上。
02:06
And one of them said,
"We had a robbery抢劫 two weeks ago.
50
114622
2171
其中一个警官说,“我们有一宗劫案发生在两个星期前
02:08
We have no suspects犯罪嫌疑人."
51
116793
1711
但没发现疑犯。”
02:10
And another另一个 said, "We had a shooting射击 in this neighborhood邻里 last week. We have no suspects犯罪嫌疑人."
52
118504
5027
另一个说:“上周在这附近发生了一场枪击事件,没发现疑犯”
02:15
We weren't using运用 data-driven数据驱动 policing治安.
53
123531
2583
我们未曾使用过数据分析来维持治安。
02:18
We were essentially实质上 trying to fight斗争 crime犯罪
54
126114
2042
我们基本上在试图
02:20
with yellow黄色 Post-it发表它 notes笔记.
55
128156
2527
用黄色便利签打击犯罪。
02:22
Now, both of these things made制作 me realize实现
56
130683
2135
这两件事让我意识到
02:24
fundamentally从根本上 that we were failing失败.
57
132818
3251
从根本上说,我们过去一直表现欠佳。
02:28
We didn't even know who was
in our criminal刑事 justice正义 system系统,
58
136069
3123
我们甚至不知道有谁涉及到刑事犯罪,
02:31
we didn't have any data数据 about
the things that mattered要紧,
59
139192
3235
我们没有相关重要事件的任何数据,
02:34
and we didn't share分享 data数据 or use analytics分析
60
142427
2568
我们未曾共享数据,使用分析技术
02:36
or tools工具 to help us make better decisions决定
61
144995
2151
或分析工具,以帮助我们做出更好地判断
02:39
and to reduce减少 crime犯罪.
62
147146
2003
并减少犯罪。
02:41
And for the first time, I started开始 to think
63
149149
2224
我第一次开始思考
02:43
about how we made制作 decisions决定.
64
151373
1910
我们是如何作出决定的。
02:45
When I was an assistant助理 D.A.,
65
153283
1397
当我还是助理地方检察官,
02:46
and when I was a federal联邦 prosecutor原告,
66
154680
1870
和联邦检察官的时候,
02:48
I looked看着 at the cases in front面前 of me,
67
156550
1746
我看着面前的那些案件,
02:50
and I generally通常 made制作 decisions决定 based基于 on my instinct直觉
68
158296
2626
我所做出的决定通常是依据我的直觉
02:52
and my experience经验.
69
160922
1692
和我的经验。
02:54
When I became成为 attorney律师 general一般,
70
162614
1659
后来我成为司法部长,
02:56
I could look at the system系统 as a whole整个,
71
164273
1639
我可以全面的观察整个司法系统
02:57
and what surprised诧异 me is that I found发现
72
165912
1818
令人吃惊的是我发现
02:59
that that was exactly究竟 how we were doing it
73
167730
1905
我们的这种做法恰恰适用于
03:01
across横过 the entire整个 system系统 --
74
169635
2303
整个司法系统 — —
03:03
in police警察 departments部门, in prosecutors's检察官的 offices办事处,
75
171938
2401
警察部门,检察官办公室,
03:06
in courts法院 and in jails监狱.
76
174339
2800
法庭和监狱。
03:09
And what I learned学到了 very quickly很快
77
177139
2197
很快,我了解到
03:11
is that we weren't doing a good job工作.
78
179336
3633
我们过去的工作成果并不令人满意。
03:14
So I wanted to do things differently不同.
79
182969
2016
所以我想做些改变。
03:16
I wanted to introduce介绍 data数据 and analytics分析
80
184985
2197
我想将数据、逻辑分析
03:19
and rigorous严格 statistical统计 analysis分析
81
187182
2049
和严格的统计分析
03:21
into our work.
82
189231
1400
纳入到我们的工作。
03:22
In short, I wanted to moneyball点球成金 criminal刑事 justice正义.
83
190631
2970
总之,我想在刑事司法上做到点球成金。
03:25
Now, moneyball点球成金, as many许多 of you know,
84
193601
2027
正如大家所知,点球成金,
03:27
is what the Oakland奥克兰 A's did,
85
195628
1569
是奥克兰运动家棒球队的方法,
03:29
where they used smart聪明 data数据 and statistics统计
86
197197
1973
他们使用了智能数据和统计学
03:31
to figure数字 out how to pick players玩家
87
199170
1622
找出如何挑选球员的办法
03:32
that would help them win赢得 games游戏,
88
200792
1521
这将有助于他们赢得比赛,
03:34
and they went from a system系统 that
was based基于 on baseball棒球 scouts侦察兵
89
202313
2980
依据一个由棒球侦查员组成的系统
03:37
who used to go out and watch players玩家
90
205293
1860
他们频繁的观察球员的表现
03:39
and use their instinct直觉 and experience经验,
91
207153
1637
利用他们的直觉和经验,
03:40
the scouts'侦察兵 instincts本能 and experience经验,
92
208790
1743
侦查员的直觉和经验,
03:42
to pick players玩家, from one to use
93
210533
1713
挑选球员,通过使用
03:44
smart聪明 data数据 and rigorous严格 statistical统计 analysis分析
94
212246
2822
智能数据和严格的统计分析
03:47
to figure数字 out how to pick players玩家
that would help them win赢得 games游戏.
95
215068
3371
找出挑选球员的办法,这会帮助他们赢得比赛。
03:50
It worked工作 for the Oakland奥克兰 A's,
96
218439
1798
奥克兰运动家棒球队就是这样运作的,
03:52
and it worked工作 in the state of New Jersey新泽西.
97
220237
2219
这对新泽西州也是适用的。
03:54
We took Camden卡姆登 off the top最佳 of the list名单
98
222456
2073
我们已经将卡姆登从
03:56
as the most dangerous危险 city in America美国.
99
224529
2171
美国最危险的城市的名单中剔除。
03:58
We reduced减少 murders谋杀 there by 41 percent百分,
100
226700
3155
我们减少了41%的谋杀率,
04:01
which哪一个 actually其实 means手段 37 lives生活 were saved保存.
101
229855
2982
实际上相当于拯救了37条生命。
04:04
And we reduced减少 all crime犯罪 in the city by 26 percent百分.
102
232837
3740
整个城市的犯罪行为减少了26%。
04:08
We also changed the way
we did criminal刑事 prosecutions起诉.
103
236577
3239
我们也改变了刑事诉讼的工作方式。
04:11
So we went from doing low-level低级别 drug药物 crimes犯罪
104
239816
2005
所以我们从调查低级毒品犯罪案件
04:13
that were outside our building建造
105
241821
1642
它们就发生在办公大楼外面
04:15
to doing cases of statewide全州 importance重要性,
106
243463
2342
转移到调查全州范围内的重要案件,
04:17
on things like reducing减少 violence暴力
with the most violent暴力 offenders罪犯,
107
245805
3158
比如减少暴力罪犯的暴力行为,
04:20
prosecuting控方 street gangs帮派,
108
248963
1858
起诉街头帮派,
04:22
gun and drug药物 trafficking贩卖, and political政治 corruption腐败.
109
250821
3408
枪支和毒品的不法交易,还有政治腐败。
04:26
And all of this matters事项 greatly非常,
110
254229
2502
所有这些事项都很重要,
04:28
because public上市 safety安全 to me
111
256731
1945
因为我认为,保证公共安全
04:30
is the most important重要 function功能 of government政府.
112
258676
2536
是政府最重要的职能。
04:33
If we're not safe安全, we can't be educated博学,
113
261212
2298
如果人身安全无法保证,我们就不能接受教育,
04:35
we can't be healthy健康,
114
263510
1348
就不能保持身体健康,
04:36
we can't do any of the other things
we want to do in our lives生活.
115
264858
2945
就不能做生活中想要做的任何事。
04:39
And we live生活 in a country国家 today今天
116
267803
1701
今天我们生活的国家
04:41
where we face面对 serious严重 criminal刑事 justice正义 problems问题.
117
269504
3134
面临着严重的刑事司法问题。
04:44
We have 12 million百万 arrests逮捕 every一切 single year.
118
272638
3661
我们每年有1200 万起拘捕行动。
04:48
The vast广大 majority多数 of those arrests逮捕
119
276299
2043
绝大多数的拘捕行动
04:50
are for low-level低级别 crimes犯罪, like misdemeanors轻罪,
120
278342
3012
是针对低级的犯罪行为,像轻罪,
04:53
70 to 80 percent百分.
121
281354
1734
这些占据了70%至80%。
04:55
Less than five percent百分 of all arrests逮捕
122
283088
1991
不到5%的拘捕行动
04:57
are for violent暴力 crime犯罪.
123
285079
1895
是针对暴力犯罪。
04:58
Yet然而 we spend 75 billion十亿,
124
286974
2055
然而,我们每年花费750亿美元,
05:01
that's b for billion十亿,
125
289029
1418
以十亿为单位,
05:02
dollars美元 a year on state and local本地 corrections更正 costs成本.
126
290447
4127
作为国家和地方的修正成本。
05:06
Right now, today今天, we have 2.3 million百万 people
127
294574
2841
此时此刻,有230万人
05:09
in our jails监狱 and prisons监狱.
128
297415
1900
被监禁在看守所和监狱里。
05:11
And we face面对 unbelievable难以置信的 public上市 safety安全 challenges挑战
129
299315
2796
我们在公共安全方面面临着惊人的挑战
05:14
because we have a situation情况
130
302111
1939
因为现在的形势是
05:16
in which哪一个 two thirds三分之二 of the people in our jails监狱
131
304050
2898
监狱中有三分之二的人
05:18
are there waiting等候 for trial审讯.
132
306948
1754
在那里等待审判。
05:20
They haven't没有 yet然而 been convicted被定罪 of a crime犯罪.
133
308702
2135
他们至今还没有被判定有罪。
05:22
They're just waiting等候 for their day in court法庭.
134
310837
2119
他们一直等着出庭受审,
05:24
And 67 percent百分 of people come back.
135
312956
3548
其中有67%的人会重返社会。
05:28
Our recidivism累犯 rate is amongst其中包括
the highest最高 in the world世界.
136
316504
3028
我们是世界上累犯率最高的国家之一。
05:31
Almost几乎 seven in 10 people who are released发布
137
319532
2103
几乎每释放10个人就有7个
05:33
from prison监狱 will be rearrested再次被捕
138
321635
1651
将会再次被逮捕
05:35
in a constant不变 cycle周期 of crime犯罪 and incarceration监禁.
139
323286
3955
这是一个恒定的犯罪和监禁的周期。
05:39
So when I started开始 my job工作 at the Arnold阿诺德 Foundation基础,
140
327241
2582
所以,当我开始在阿诺德基金会工作时,
05:41
I came来了 back to looking at a lot of these questions问题,
141
329823
2736
回头看了很多这类问题,
05:44
and I came来了 back to thinking思维 about how
142
332559
1654
重新思考了我们怎样
05:46
we had used data数据 and analytics分析 to transform转变
143
334213
2383
利用数据和分析转变了
05:48
the way we did criminal刑事 justice正义 in New Jersey新泽西.
144
336596
2584
新泽西州的刑事司法。
05:51
And when I look at the criminal刑事 justice正义 system系统
145
339180
2144
后来我注意到
05:53
in the United联合的 States状态 today今天,
146
341324
1656
当今国家的刑事司法系统,
05:54
I feel the exact精确 same相同 way that I did
147
342980
1639
我觉得应使用同样的方法
05:56
about the state of New Jersey新泽西 when I started开始 there,
148
344619
2466
即首先在新泽西州使用的那种方法,
05:59
which哪一个 is that we absolutely绝对 have to do better,
149
347085
3228
毫无疑问我们要做得更好,
06:02
and I know that we can do better.
150
350313
1923
而且我知道我们可以做得更好。
06:04
So I decided决定 to focus焦点
151
352236
1705
所以我决定将重点集中在
06:05
on using运用 data数据 and analytics分析
152
353941
2217
使用数据和分析
06:08
to help make the most critical危急 decision决定
153
356158
2361
以帮助作出最关键的判断
06:10
in public上市 safety安全,
154
358519
1606
在公共安全方面,
06:12
and that decision决定 is the determination决心
155
360125
2021
这一决定是判断
06:14
of whether是否, when someone有人 has been arrested被捕,
156
362146
2535
已经被逮捕的某个人,
06:16
whether是否 they pose提出 a risk风险 to public上市 safety安全
157
364681
1915
是否会对公共安全构成风险
06:18
and should be detained被拘留,
158
366596
1526
而被拘留
06:20
or whether是否 they don't pose提出 a risk风险 to public上市 safety安全
159
368122
2356
还是不会对公共安全造成风险
06:22
and should be released发布.
160
370478
1637
应被释放。
06:24
Everything that happens发生 in criminal刑事 cases
161
372115
1919
刑事案件中发生的一切
06:26
comes out of this one decision决定.
162
374034
1772
都出自这一决定。
06:27
It impacts影响 everything.
163
375806
1496
它影响了全局。
06:29
It impacts影响 sentencing宣判.
164
377302
1350
它影响了判刑。
06:30
It impacts影响 whether是否 someone有人 gets得到 drug药物 treatment治疗.
165
378652
1901
它影响到是否有人需要药物治疗。
06:32
It impacts影响 crime犯罪 and violence暴力.
166
380553
2323
它影响了犯罪和暴力行为。
06:34
And when I talk to judges法官 around the United联合的 States状态,
167
382876
1937
当我同全美众多法官交谈时,
06:36
which哪一个 I do all the time now,
168
384813
1928
我现在无时无刻不在做这件事,
06:38
they all say the same相同 thing,
169
386741
1837
他们都说着同样的话,
06:40
which哪一个 is that we put dangerous危险 people in jail监狱,
170
388578
3107
我们把危险的人关进监狱,
06:43
and we let non-dangerous非危险, nonviolent非暴力 people out.
171
391685
3525
把没有危险的人、非暴力的人放出去。
06:47
They mean it and they believe it.
172
395210
2233
他们是认真的,他们相信自己所做的。
06:49
But when you start开始 to look at the data数据,
173
397443
1733
但当你开始查看那些数据,
06:51
which哪一个, by the way, the judges法官 don't have,
174
399176
2464
顺便提一句,那些法官没看过,
06:53
when we start开始 to look at the data数据,
175
401640
1612
当我们开始查看数据,
06:55
what we find time and time again,
176
403252
2418
我们一次又一次的发现,
06:57
is that this isn't the case案件.
177
405670
1982
这不是个案。
06:59
We find low-risk低风险 offenders罪犯,
178
407652
1681
我们发现,
07:01
which哪一个 makes品牌 up 50 percent百分 of our
entire整个 criminal刑事 justice正义 population人口,
179
409333
3714
占刑事司法总人数的50%的低风险罪犯
07:05
we find that they're in jail监狱.
180
413047
2399
被关在监狱里。
07:07
Take Leslie莱斯利 Chew, who was a Texas德州 man
181
415446
2486
举个例子,莱斯利丘是德克萨斯州人
07:09
who stole偷了 four blankets毯子 on a cold winter冬季 night.
182
417932
2884
在一个寒冷的冬夜偷了四个毯子。
07:12
He was arrested被捕, and he was kept不停 in jail监狱
183
420816
2595
他被拘捕,然后被关进监狱
07:15
on 3,500 dollars美元 bail保释,
184
423411
2053
需要三千五百美元保释金,
07:17
an amount that he could not afford给予 to pay工资.
185
425464
2776
这是一笔他支付不起的金额。
07:20
And he stayed in jail监狱 for eight months个月
186
428240
2588
他在监狱里呆了八个月
07:22
until直到 his case案件 came来了 up for trial审讯,
187
430828
2065
直到他的案子开庭,
07:24
at a cost成本 to taxpayers纳税人 of more than 9,000 dollars美元.
188
432893
3905
共花了纳税人9,000 多美元税款。
07:28
And at the other end结束 of the spectrum光谱,
189
436798
1997
在另一个极端,
07:30
we're doing an equally一样 terrible可怕 job工作.
190
438795
2282
我们所做的工作也同样糟糕,
07:33
The people who we find
191
441077
1572
那些我们抓获的
07:34
are the highest-risk高风险 offenders罪犯,
192
442649
2019
高危险罪犯,
07:36
the people who we think have the highest最高 likelihood可能性
193
444668
2497
那些被认为一旦释放会有极高的可能性
07:39
of committing提交 a new crime犯罪 if they're released发布,
194
447165
1952
再次犯罪的人,
07:41
we see nationally国内 that 50 percent百分 of those people
195
449117
2950
在全国范围内,其中的50%
07:44
are being存在 released发布.
196
452067
1974
正在回归社会。
07:46
The reason原因 for this is the way we make decisions决定.
197
454041
3174
是我们做决定的方式导致的这种结果。
07:49
Judges士师记 have the best最好 intentions意图
198
457215
1709
法官怀着善意
07:50
when they make these decisions决定 about risk风险,
199
458924
1952
做出这些有风险的决定,
07:52
but they're making制造 them subjectively主观.
200
460876
2484
但,是主观的决定。
07:55
They're like the baseball棒球 scouts侦察兵 20 years年份 ago
201
463360
2146
他们就像20 年前的棒球侦查员
07:57
who were using运用 their instinct直觉 and their experience经验
202
465506
2131
他们凭本能和经验
07:59
to try to decide决定 what risk风险 someone有人 poses姿势.
203
467637
2679
试着去判断某个人制造的危险。
08:02
They're being存在 subjective主观,
204
470316
1530
他们是主观的,
08:03
and we know what happens发生
with subjective主观 decision决定 making制造,
205
471846
3060
我们知道主观决策会导致什么,
08:06
which哪一个 is that we are often经常 wrong错误.
206
474906
2743
那就是我们常常犯错。
08:09
What we need in this space空间
207
477649
1383
我们需要的是
08:11
are strong强大 data数据 and analytics分析.
208
479032
2552
有力的数据和分析。
08:13
What I decided决定 to look for
209
481584
1747
我决定寻找
08:15
was a strong强大 data数据 and analytic解析 risk风险 assessment评定 tool工具,
210
483331
2836
一个有力的数据分析的风险评估工具,
08:18
something that would let judges法官 actually其实 understand理解
211
486167
2764
这个工具会让法官
08:20
with a scientific科学 and objective目的 way
212
488931
2259
以科学的客观的方式去了解
08:23
what the risk风险 was that was posed构成
213
491190
1647
什么样的风险
08:24
by someone有人 in front面前 of them.
214
492837
1610
摆在他们面前。
08:26
I looked看着 all over the country国家,
215
494447
1649
我找遍了全国,
08:28
and I found发现 that between之间 five and 10 percent百分
216
496096
1942
发现5%至10%的
08:30
of all U.S. jurisdictions司法管辖区
217
498038
1329
美国管辖区域
08:31
actually其实 use any type类型 of risk风险 assessment评定 tool工具,
218
499367
2978
实际使用了某些类型的风险评估工具,
08:34
and when I looked看着 at these tools工具,
219
502345
1625
我查看了这些评估工具之后,
08:35
I quickly很快 realized实现 why.
220
503970
1860
很快意识到其中缘由。
08:37
They were unbelievably令人难以置信 expensive昂贵 to administer管理,
221
505830
2690
它们应用起来非常昂贵,
08:40
they were time-consuming耗时的,
222
508520
1528
非常耗时,
08:42
they were limited有限 to the local本地 jurisdiction管辖权
223
510048
2107
它们被限制在地方管辖区域
08:44
in which哪一个 they'd他们会 been created创建.
224
512155
1430
因为它们就出自那里。
08:45
So basically基本上, they couldn't不能 be scaled缩放
225
513585
1793
因此,基本上,它们不能扩展
08:47
or transferred转入 to other places地方.
226
515378
2209
或转移到其他地方。
08:49
So I went out and built内置 a phenomenal非凡的 team球队
227
517587
2237
所以我组建了一个出色的团队
08:51
of data数据 scientists科学家们 and researchers研究人员
228
519824
2044
由数据科学家和研究人员
08:53
and statisticians统计学家
229
521868
1626
还有统计人员组成
08:55
to build建立 a universal普遍 risk风险 assessment评定 tool工具,
230
523494
2845
建立一个通用的风险评估工具,
08:58
so that every一切 single judge法官 in
the United联合的 States状态 of America美国
231
526339
2393
这样一来,全美的每一个法官
09:00
can have an objective目的, scientific科学 measure测量 of risk风险.
232
528732
4324
都可以做一个客观、科学的风险评估。
09:05
In the tool工具 that we've我们已经 built内置,
233
533056
1658
在这个已经建立的这个工具里,
09:06
what we did was we collected 1.5 million百万 cases
234
534714
2868
我们收集了150 万个案件
09:09
from all around the United联合的 States状态,
235
537582
1698
来自美国各地,
09:11
from cities城市, from counties,
236
539280
1644
包括城市,县,
09:12
from every一切 single state in the country国家,
237
540924
1511
国内的每个州,
09:14
the federal联邦 districts.
238
542435
1746
联邦区。
09:16
And with those 1.5 million百万 cases,
239
544181
2189
有了那150 万个案例,
09:18
which哪一个 is the largest最大 data数据 set on pretrial预审
240
546370
1940
这是美国审判前最大的数据库
09:20
in the United联合的 States状态 today今天,
241
548310
1805
截止到今天,
09:22
we were able能够 to basically基本上 find that there were
242
550115
1865
我们基本上能够找到
09:23
900-plus-加 risk风险 factors因素 that we could look at
243
551980
3322
我们可以查看的九百多个危险因素
09:27
to try to figure数字 out what mattered要紧 most.
244
555302
2866
试着找出最重要的问题。
09:30
And we found发现 that there were nine specific具体 things
245
558168
2081
我们发现具体有九件事
09:32
that mattered要紧 all across横过 the country国家
246
560249
2235
在全国范围内都很重要
09:34
and that were the most highly高度 predictive预测 of risk风险.
247
562484
2977
是可预测的最高风险。
09:37
And so we built内置 a universal普遍 risk风险 assessment评定 tool工具.
248
565461
3705
于是我们建立了一种通用的风险评估工具。
09:41
And it looks容貌 like this.
249
569166
1445
它看起来就像这个。
09:42
As you'll你会 see, we put some information信息 in,
250
570611
2612
正如你所看到的,我们把一些信息列在上面,
09:45
but most of it is incredibly令人难以置信 simple简单,
251
573223
2013
但大多数都格外简单,
09:47
it's easy简单 to use,
252
575236
1432
它使用起来很容易,
09:48
it focuses重点 on things like the
defendant's被告 prior convictions信念,
253
576668
2969
它侧重的方面是被告的前科,
09:51
whether是否 they've他们已经 been sentenced判刑 to incarceration监禁,
254
579637
1979
他们是否曾被判处监禁,
09:53
whether是否 they've他们已经 engaged订婚 in violence暴力 before,
255
581616
2264
他们是否曾被卷入过暴力事件,
09:55
whether是否 they've他们已经 even failed失败 to come back to court法庭.
256
583880
2393
他们是否甚至没能回到法庭。
09:58
And with this tool工具, we can predict预测 three things.
257
586273
2500
使用此工具,我们可以预测三件事。
10:00
First, whether是否 or not someone有人 will commit承诺
258
588773
1853
第一,他们是否会再次犯罪
10:02
a new crime犯罪 if they're released发布.
259
590626
1565
如果被释放的话。
10:04
Second第二, for the first time,
260
592191
1664
第二,我第一次觉得,
10:05
and I think this is incredibly令人难以置信 important重要,
261
593855
1861
这一点非常重要,
10:07
we can predict预测 whether是否 someone有人 will commit承诺
262
595716
1923
我们可以预测他们是否会
10:09
an act法案 of violence暴力 if they're released发布.
263
597639
1834
进行暴力活动,如果被释放的话。
10:11
And that's the single most important重要 thing
264
599473
1887
法官说这是最重要的一件事
10:13
that judges法官 say when you talk to them.
265
601360
1807
当你向他们问话的时候。
10:15
And third第三, we can predict预测 whether是否 someone有人
266
603167
1828
第三,我们可以预测是否他们
10:16
will come back to court法庭.
267
604995
1990
会回到法庭。
10:18
And every一切 single judge法官 in the
United联合的 States状态 of America美国 can use it,
268
606985
3033
美国的任何一名法官都可以使用它,
10:22
because it's been created创建 on a universal普遍 data数据 set.
269
610018
3812
因为它是由通用的数据库制成的。
10:25
What judges法官 see if they run the risk风险 assessment评定 tool工具
270
613830
2609
如果他们使用了这个风险评估工具你就会看到
10:28
is this -- it's a dashboard仪表板.
271
616439
2120
这个--一个评分板。
10:30
At the top最佳, you see the New Criminal刑事 Activity活动 Score得分了,
272
618559
2848
在顶部的,是新的刑事犯罪活动评分,
10:33
six of course课程 being存在 the highest最高,
273
621407
1929
六当然是最高分,
10:35
and then in the middle中间 you
see, "Elevated提高的 risk风险 of violence暴力."
274
623336
2403
然后在中间你可以看到“增长的暴力风险”
10:37
What that says is that this person
275
625739
1746
说的是,这个人
10:39
is someone有人 who has an elevated提高的 risk风险 of violence暴力
276
627485
2060
进行暴力行为的概率有所升高
10:41
that the judge法官 should look twice两次 at.
277
629545
1885
这是法官应该注意的重点。
10:43
And then, towards the bottom底部,
278
631430
1336
然后在底部,
10:44
you see the Failure失败 to Appear出现 Score得分了,
279
632766
1968
你看到的是未能出庭的分数,
10:46
which哪一个 again is the likelihood可能性
280
634734
1392
这也是判断
10:48
that someone有人 will come back to court法庭.
281
636126
3013
此人会回到法庭的可能性。
10:51
Now I want to say something really important重要.
282
639139
2213
现在我想说些非常重要的事。
10:53
It's not that I think we should be eliminating消除
283
641352
2727
我不认为应该排除
10:56
the judge's法官 instinct直觉 and experience经验
284
644079
2244
法官的直觉和经验
10:58
from this process处理.
285
646323
1604
在整个过程中。
10:59
I don't.
286
647927
1058
我不这样想。
11:00
I actually其实 believe the problem问题 that we see
287
648985
2007
事实上,我相信我们看到的问题
11:02
and the reason原因 that we have
these incredible难以置信 system系统 errors错误,
288
650992
2854
以及系统内出现令人难以置信的错误的原因,
11:05
where we're incarcerating监禁
low-level低级别, nonviolent非暴力 people
289
653846
3087
也就是我们关押低级、非暴力的人
11:08
and we're releasing释放 high-risk高风险, dangerous危险 people,
290
656933
3172
我们释放高风险的、危险的人的原因,
11:12
is that we don't have an objective目的 measure测量 of risk风险.
291
660105
2723
是因为我们没有客观的衡量风险。
11:14
But what I believe should happen发生
292
662828
1300
但我相信
11:16
is that we should take that
data-driven数据驱动 risk风险 assessment评定
293
664128
2800
我们应该将这种数据驱动的风险评估
11:18
and combine结合 that with the
judge's法官 instinct直觉 and experience经验
294
666928
3041
与法官的直觉和经验相结合
11:21
to lead us to better decision决定 making制造.
295
669969
2958
会使我们做出更好的决策。
11:24
The tool工具 went statewide全州 in Kentucky肯塔基 on July七月 1,
296
672927
3303
该评估工具于7月1日在肯塔基州全面推行,
11:28
and we're about to go up in a
number of other U.S. jurisdictions司法管辖区.
297
676230
3351
