Abstract
This chapter demonstrates the inherently gendered and racialised nature of predictive policing technologies through an interrogation of the way that domestic, sexual, and gender-based forms of violence are represented in predictive policing tools and in the discourse around predictive policing. It reveals how predictive policing technologies not only reproduce existing patriarchal approaches to gender-based violence, but also possess the potential to shape and produce how gender-based violence is understood, identified, policed, and prosecuted. McInerney argues that as prisons and other carceral institutions are arenas of state-sanctioned sexual violence, these tools cannot be successfully employed for feminist ends.
