Will write a longer reply later, since I am about to board a plane.
I was indeed thinking of a criminal investigation context, but I think the question of how likely someone is to commit further crimes is likely to be directly related to their ability to commit further crimes, which will depend on many of the variables I mentioned above, and so the same argument holds.
I expect those variables to still be highly relevant when you want to assess the likelihood of another crime, and there are many more that are more obviously relevant and also correlated with race (such as their impulsivity, their likelihood to get addicted to drugs, etc.). Do you think we should not take into account someone’s impulsivity when predicting whether they will commit more crimes?
