Abstract:

In a popular dystopian future where life is tough for young adults, there is still street crime, and still a need for crime analysts.  There was once a time where analysts used screens no bigger than 17 inches, and visual analytic systems simply supported decisions, rather than making their own.  Let’s jump to 2029 and spend a day with police crime analyst Alex Murphy, who doesn’t always get on with modern technology, to see how things have changed.
