- This study looked at how to predict if young people will commit crimes by using special computer programs called machine learning models.!
- They tested these models on 679 kids aged 11-17 who were showing bad behavior and found that one of the models worked best at predicting future crimes.!
- The results suggest that machine learning can help experts make better decisions about how to help these young people avoid trouble with the law.!
